Kajaani are welcoming Oulu for another important game after their 3-5 result against MuSa.

Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!

This pitch has artificial turf, which is not Oulu's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on artificial turf Oulu have performed like this: Played 13 matches resulting in 7 wins, 0 draws and 6 defeats with the goal stats 20-17 (scored/conceded).

Kajaani form and stats

Kajaani's struggle is real here at Kajaanin liikuntapuisto with only 5 points collected from 9 Ykkonen games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-2-6. Kajaani has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager M. Lumijärvi and the players.

In their previous game, the manager M. Lumijärvi led his Kajaani to a defeat in the Ykkonen match away at MuSa. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Kajaanin liikuntapuisto. Preceding that match was a defeat to Jaro (1-2).

The Kajaani fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 9 in 9 matches. Kajaani have conceded 14 from these games.
