Oulu form and stats

Last season their Finland Cup adventure ended in the 8th finals.

Oulu have performed here at Heinäpään tekonurmi this season with 7 wins from 11 Ykkonen matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 3 games and lost 1. The team is able to perform also as the away side, as they are nurturing a very healthy winning streak of five straight victories regardless of arena. The opportunity of a proper winning streak is there for the hosts, with two straight wins here at Heinäpään tekonurmi.

Oulu's previous game was a Ykkonen match also played at home, ending 6-0 versus MP. The home side are looking to build on that result. Before that, Oulu had a Ykkonen home game versus MP which ended with a victory 6-0.

As mentioned above, Oulu "killed" MP in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency. What a game it was for L. Hertsi when beating MP, applying the finishing touch to three goals!

Oulu have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Heinäpään tekonurmi with 21 goals in 11 league matches. Oulu have only conceded 6 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

SJK form and stats

Last season their Finland Cup adventure ended in the group stage.

As the visiting team in Veikkausliiga matches, SJK have produced an overall stat of 4-3-4 so far.

It's the second away game in a row for SJK, but there's smiles all around after the 3-2 victory versus RoPS in the Veikkausliiga last time out. It was a Veikkausliiga defeat before that one as the away game against TPS wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.

Late drama in the previous game, when M. Hetemaj scored the winning goal three minutes into stoppage time to defeat RoPS.

SJK have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 11 league away games 13 goals have been scored. As opposed to that, SJK have seen the ball go into their own net 12 times on the road. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only -1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the last six meetings between these two teams are: two wins for Oulu, two draws and two wins for SJK. Over 2,5 goals: three times; under 2,5 goals: three games.
