Marius Könkkölä (8', 45') and Albijon Muzaci (16') scored for TPS Turku.
It has been all too rare in recent games where AC Oulu have shown defensive steel. It will be a concern for them that AC Oulu have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 matches, giving up 11 goals on the way. Such a trend might not be sustained into this match, of course.
Going into this contest, AC Oulu are unbeaten in their last 7 league matches at home.
IF Gnistan will go into the clash following a 4-2 Veikkausliiga win with the defeat of IFK Mariehamn in their previous outing.

Nearly everyone is up for selection, with just a single fitness concern for the AC Oulu gaffer Mikko Isokangas to be concerned about from of an almost fully healthy group. Onni Tiihonen (Cruciate ligament injury) won’t play.
Thanks to a largely full-strength squad, there’s just a single fitness issue for the IF Gnistan gaffer Jussi Leppälahti to be concerned with. Evgeniy Bashkirov (Knee surgery) won’t be in action.
Our feeling is that IF Gnistan are dangerous enough to put one past this AC Oulu outfit, but that probably shouldn’t prevent them from conceding a couple at the other end.
Our tip is for a close game with a 2-1 win for AC Oulu after the 90. We’ll have to see what happens.
Checking the latest betting odds for this match in the win-draw-win market, a win for AC Oulu is best priced at 2.1, a bet on the game finishing all-square is 3.3 & staking on the winner to be IF Gnistan gets you 3.1. Those are the best prices that can be secured at present.
