KuPS visit Raatti Stadium on Tuesday for the Veikkausliiga clash with hosts AC Oulu.
Full predictions, stats & game poll for the AC Oulu v KuPS match are shown here - plus the latest betting odds.
AC Oulu will be hoping for a repeat of their last result, following a 2-1 Veikkausliiga victory over FC Honka.
The only scorer from AC Oulu was Rafael Floro (55', 90'). Kevin Jansen (75') scored for FC Honka.
At least three goals per match have been seen in 5 of the past 6 meetings where AC Oulu have played. Opposition teams scored 8 of them in these games while AC Oulu managed to get a total of 10.
Ahead of this clash, AC Oulu are undefeated in their last 5 league matches at home.
KuPS will go into this encounter following a 2-1 Veikkausliiga win in the defeat of FC Haka in their last game.
For KuPS, the scorers were Tim Väyrynen (28') and Jānis Ikaunieks (39'). Oliver Whyte (86') was the scorer for FC Haka.
In their previous six clashes, KuPS have bagged the sum of 11 goals. KuPS have also not failed to score on each one of those occasions. Over that period, they’ve had 4 goals scored by their opponents. We will find out if that trend can be sustained into this next match.
Going into this contest, KuPS are undefeated in their previous 13 away league matches. It doesn't get much better than that.
The last league clash between these sides was Veikkausliiga match day 12 on 30/06/2021 when it finished KuPS 2-0 AC Oulu.
The match was refereed by Ville Nevalainen.
Regarding absentees, there’s just one fitness concern for the AC Oulu boss Ricardo Duarte to contend with from a near full-strength squad. Dennis Salanovic (Torn Muscle Fibre) won’t play.
Due to a fully injury-free squad to pick from, the KuPS boss Simo Valakari does not have any fitness concerns whatsoever coming into this game.
We’re thinking that AC Oulu might have a difficult job to be putting a goal past this KuPS side who we think will score at least once to gain the upper hand.
We’re therefore anticipating a very even contest with a 0-1 winning margin for KuPS when the referee blows for full-time.
Let’s see.
