AC Oulu
LLDDLL ⚠
AC Oulu will be wanting a better result here after the 2-1 Veikkausliiga losing effort in their last game against FF Jaro.
The only name on the scoresheet from AC Oulu was Niklas Jokelainen (49'). Jim Myrevik (71') and Rudi Vikström (88') scored for FF Jaro.
It has been all too rare in recent times where AC Oulu have kept a clean sheet. In fact, AC Oulu have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 games, giving up 12 goals along the way. That kind of pattern might not be carried forward into this next game, however.
Going into this game, the form guide shows that AC Oulu:
- have not won against VPS Vaasa in their last 4 league games.
- are without a win at home for the past 6 matches in the league. Their supporters are understandably frustrated.
