KTP
LLLDLW
KTP will be looking for another win after the 2-3 Veikkausliiga victory versus FF Jaro.
For KTP, the scorers were Matias Paavola (33'), Aleksi Tarvonen (63') and Tabi Manga (74'). Albin Björkskog (34') and Kerfala Cissoko (77') scored for FF Jaro.
It has been seldom in recent games that KTP have kept a clean sheet. It will be a concern for them that KTP have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 6 of their previous 6 games, shipping 14 goals during that time.
Coming into this clash, KTP are without a win at home for the past 9 matches in the league. They will be so desperate to end this run.
AC Oulu
LLLLLL 🚑
Following on from being defeated in their last game at the hands of FC Inter Turku in Veikkausliiga competition, AC Oulu will be hoping to turn things around here.
The only name on the scoresheet from AC Oulu was Julius Paananen (17'). Momodou Sarr (28'), Jasse Tuominen (36'), Axel Kouame (81') and Thomas Lahdensuo (88') scored for FC Inter Turku.
AC Oulu have been effective going forward in their most recent fixtures, having scored 7 times in their last 6 matches. Having said that, AC Oulu have been somewhat leaky at the back, having also been scored against in 6 of those same games. That kind of trend isn’t assured to be continued into this next game, though.
👥
Head to head
A study of past results between these clubs going back to 15/06/2021 tells us that these encounters have been pretty painful for KTP. They’ve not been able to get themselves any victories whatsoever while AC Oulu have just been too good for them, running out winners in 83 per cent of those games where they have faced each other.
In all, 17 goals were scored between the two sides throughout the course of those matches, with 4 for KTP and 13 being from Oulu. That is an average goals per game value of 2.83.
The previous league clash between the two was Veikkausliiga match day 3 on 29/09/2023 when it ended AC Oulu 2-0 KTP.
The referee was Ville Nevalainen.
🔮
Prediction
We’re of the opinion that AC Oulu will have their work cut out to register a score against this KTP outfit who we reckon should manage to get a goal of their own in a winning performance.
Therefore, we predict a hard-fought 1-0 advantage for KTP at the end of the 90 minutes.
Let’s see how it plays out.
