- Haka have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Oulu and Haka.

As you see from the result above, Oulu suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one.
