Oulu form and stats

Perfect Ykkonen season at home so far for Oulu, who have the most points (6) at home in Ykkonen, 2 wins from 2 appearances.

A nice win for Oulu last time playing, versus SJK Akatemia. That was also a home game and the match ended 1-0 with A. Heikkilä scoring for the victors. A strong away win before that one, visiting MYPA and winning 2-1.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Oulu's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played one game, won zero matches, drawn zero and lost one.

Early season league goal statistics from Oulu's 2 home games: 3 goals, 0 conceded.

VPS form and stats

0-1-0 is the win-draw-loss statistic for VPS in their Ykkonen matches away.

VPS's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus MuSa that finished 1-1. A home win before that, celebrating 1-0 vs MYPA.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and VPS playing away, we found four games. Results were zero away wins, two draws and two home wins.

As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, VPS has managed 0 goals and let in 0 from 1 match.

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the last seven meetings between these two teams are: zero wins for Oulu, four draws and three wins for VPS. Over 2,5 goals: four times; under 2,5 goals: three games.
