6th placed Lahti can jump two places up the table should they manage to turn over visiting VPS Vaasa on Saturday in the eagerly awaited Finnish Veikkausliiga battle on Saturday. VPS, who sit in 3rd spot have emerged as one of the league’s more consistent teams in recent weeks.

Match Preview

Ahead of our Lahti vs VPS Vaasa preview, the home side are unbeaten in three Finnish Veikkausliiga fixtures - in fact they have lost just two of their ten league games thus far in 2017. Toni Korkeakunnas’s men have drawn far too many games though, five so far in total, and they are the joint lowest scorers in the division with nine goals.

• Lahti 1-2 KuPS
• Mariehamn 0-2 Lahti
• Lahti 0-0 HJK
• Inter Turku 0-0 Lahti

VPS Vaasa have recovered from their stuttering start to the new campaign and have lost just once in their last eight since. They will be disappointed coming in to our Lahti vs VPS Vaasa predictions however, having been held 1-1 at home by second from bottom HIFK on Wednesday evening.

VPS have the best away record in the Finnish Veikkausliiga so far in 2017 having won four of their six fixtures on the road under manager Petri Vuorinen.

• JJK 1-4 VPS Vaasa
• VPS Vaasa 0-2 Ilves
• PS Kemi 0-1 VPS Vaasa
• VPS Vaasa 1-1 HIFK
