Competition: Finland Ykkonen
Date: Fri 16.August
Match begins: 15:30 (UTC)
Venue: Raatin stadion (6996 seats)

Season ticket holders at Raatin stadion haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Oulu languishing in the 7th position so far. The guesting KTP will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.

It's no vacation for neither Oulu nor KTP as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Oulu form and stats

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories so far this season. Oulu have only managed 0 wins, 5 draws and 5 losses so far from their games here at Raatin stadion. With eleven home games in a row without a win, the Oulu fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the MuSa game long ago, can be stopped today.

Oulu's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-1 versus KTP. Before that game, the home loss against EIF with the scoreline 1-2.

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 five games) they have won 0 times, drawn 2 and lost 3.

Oulu have scored 7 goals here in 10 matches, not a lot. On the other hand, Oulu have conceded 12 goals.

KTP form and stats

4 wins, 1 draw and 5 losses. That’s the product of KTP playing as the away team this season.

KTP play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 1-0 victory visiting Oulu. That result followed a home victory 6-1 versus TPV.

We have checked recent matches where KTP have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those three games were W2-D0-L1.

KTP are not goal shy away from home, finding the net 15 times in 10 away games so far. In the opposite end, KTP have conceded 17 goals in their away games.

Head 2 Head

The most recent history between these sides is the Oulu - KTP 0-1 played earlier this season. Oulu-KTP H2H statistics last ten meetings regardless of arena: Oulu 5 wins, KTP 3 wins, 2 draws. 1 of these ten matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).
