The league table in Ykkonen tells a story about these teams so far, with Oulu leading MYPA by 22 points. Match preview to follow:
MYPA could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Ykkonen game only three sleeps ago.
This stadium uses grass, unlike MYPA's home stadium. The visitors last 27 games on grass have ended in 3 wins, 7 draws and 17 losses.
Oulu form and stats
The home supporters can't complain about results here at Raatin stadion as Oulu, who have the most clean sheets (4) at home in Ykkonen, have scored 7 goals to get 14 points from 6 games. The overall stats in the Ykkonen are 4-2-0 (wins-draws-losses). Their last two home games have resulted in two points, meaning they were both draws.
It's back home for Oulu, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating MP away with the result 1-0. N. Jokelainen found the net in that victory. Before that, Oulu drew at home versus EIF.
Oulu are huge favourites in this match and it would be a big surprise if they fail to leave Raatin stadion with a victory. The home side has been in this situation before, with huge expectations of a win. twelve earlier games are comparable to this one, and Oulu has won eight times, drawn three and lost one. Sports bettors who like handicap betting will like to know that Oulu has won by at least two goals five times when in this position.
Oulu are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 7 goals in 6 games. Oulu have showed great defending skills in these home games, allowing the opposition to score only 2 goals.
MYPA form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for MYPA so far with only 0 points returning home. The records show 0-0-6 (win-draw-lose). MYPA have been very modest guests so far, leaving with zero points in all their 6 away matches played so far in the Ykkonen. A depressing six defeats in a row for MYPA in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus VPS.
MYPA delivered a 1-1 draw playing at home against KPV (placed 7th) in their previous match; a Ykkonen game. A 0-3 defeat away at EIF before that.
The visitors come into this game as huge outsiders. This role is not totally unknown to them, as they have played 26 away matches before with similar winning odds. These games have ended with three wins, eight draws and 15 defeats. eleven games were lost by at least two goals margin.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting MYPA as they have only managed to score 5 times from 6 away games in the league. People interested in "over 2,5 goals" betting will like to know that MYPA concede an average of more than 2,5 goals per away match all on their own.
