VPS – the shape of the team and its analysis:

“The Vepsu” is quite serious about this season. The team was able to take 6 wins in 9 rounds, and lost only to KuPS, although twice already, in the spring. And it shared points with SJK, having played a 1-1 draw back in the first half of April.

June brought a difficult start for one of the leaders. A strong 2-1 score on the field of Ekenas was followed by a draw in the struggle with Ilves. And then the team played a goalless draw in the battle against Marienhamn.

Oulu – the shape of the team and its analysis:

“The Dark Blues” are generally doing their usual thing. They, as before, are fighting for survival. And it’s not a fact that this time it will be possible to do it successfully. Only defeats and draws were mixed almost all spring, in the first 8 matches.

The team managed to win, sensationally, against HJK – the champion underestimated the outsider, and it itself was out of shape. Still, that 1-0 result was followed by a defeat made by KuPS. Speaking about the struggle with Lahti, everything was heading towards a home defeat, but a penalty was earned in added time – Jokelainen scored and set a final 2-2 score.
