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 KTP.
Oulu form and stats
With 3 Veikkausliiga wins, 2 draws and 6 defeats from their home games, Oulu, who have the fewest scored goals (17) in Veikkausliiga, are certainly not brimming with confidence. The Oulu manager R. Duarte might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.
No payout for Oulu in their previous match, an away game at Honka that ended in defeat 1-6. 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.
Preceding that game was the away draw at Lahti that finished 0-0.The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Oulu have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found six games) they have won one time, drawn four and lost one.
Oulu are traveling soon after this match as the Veikkausliiga Play-offs match at RoPS awaits in three days.
The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Oulu here at Raatin stadion in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (8 from 11 games). Oulu have conceded 14 in these home matches.
KTP form and stats
There's been little loot from KTP's travels as they have only collected 6 points from 11 away games in the Veikkausliiga. KTP only have 1 win to counter their 7 defeats and 3 draws. Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in eleven away games in a row.
The manager T. Kankkunen was unhappy after their last game, a Veikkausliiga match played at their home ground Arto Tolsa Areena. KTP suffered a 2-4 loss to Haka. As you can tell from the result, the match against Haka was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?
Prior to that match, the KTP manager T. Kankkunen faced defeat when travelling to Mariehamn and losing 1-5.KTP are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is three wins, two draws and one defeat. From a total of six matches.
KTP have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 11 league away games 11 goals have been scored. For KTP, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
