Oulu welcome Gnistan for another interesting Ykkonen fixture here at Raatin stadion.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
This stadium uses grass, unlike Gnistan's home stadium. The visitors last 28 games on grass have ended in 8 wins, 8 draws and 12 losses.
