KTP
LLLDLW
KTP, who won their previous game, will hope for a similar result following the 2-3 Veikkausliiga success versus FF Jaro.
For KTP, goals were scored by 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 0
Since 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 scorer 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 review of their past head to head results going back to 15/06/2021 shows that these encounters have been miserable for KTP. They’ve not been able to register any wins whatsoever whereas AC Oulu have dominated them, running out winners in 83 per cent of those match-ups.
A sum of 17 goals were yielded between them in this period, with 4 of them for KTP and 13 netted by Oulu. The average number of goals per game works out to 2.83.
The last 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.
