FC Lahti vs AC Oulu Prediction: A draw is possible here

FC Lahti and AC Oulu will play their next Finland Veikkausliiga clash at the Lahden Stadion on Sunday. The two struggling sides are seated in the relegation zone and nothing seems to separate them. Below are previews, injury reports, possible starting 11, expert betting tips, and odds.

FC Lahti

LDDDL

Lahti hope to put an end to their winless run after remaining without a win in their last ten games in all competitions. During this period, they saw five draws and five defeats, with the most recent loss being a 3-0 loss to Inter Turku. However, Lahti are unbeaten in their last two home games, where they saw a 3-3 draw against Gnistan and a 2-2 draw against Ilves. They sit bottom of the table with 9 points in 14 games, scoring 13 and conceding 28. However, Dylan Fox and Colin Odutayo may likely miss this clash due to injuries.

AC Oulu

LDDWL

Oulu were beaten again in their last clash by SJK. Justin Rennicks put Oulu ahead just 8 minutes into the game before SJK scored twice in the first half to get the win. Oulu had earlier lost 2-0 to SJK in the Suomen Cup. With these results, Oulu have now seen just one win in their last five away games. They sit 10th on the table with 12 points in 14 games, scoring 20 goals and conceding 26. Alexander Forsstrom has been ruled out for the rest of the season, Marquinhos fitness is uncertain, and Juho Lehtiranta is expected to sit out of this clash.

Possible Starting 11

FC Lahti - Joshua Oluwayemi, Pablo Andrade, Mikko Viitikko, Matias Vainionpaa, Riku Selander, Otso Koskinen, Samuel Pasanen, Benjamin Mulahalilovic, Julius Tauriainen, Michael Lopez, Luke Ivanovic.

AC Oulu - Calum Ward, Otto Salmensuu, Jose Elo, Samuli Holtta, Liiban Abdirahman Abadid, Danny Barrow, Jake Dunwoody, Jere Kallinen, Simon Bengtsson, Justin Rennicks, Niklas Jokelainen.

Expert Betting Tips

Oulu's defence has not been superb away from home this season, conceding in all their seven away games so far this season. On the other hand, despite the fact that Lahti have scored five goals in their last two home games, they have one of the worst defences of this season so far. They have conceded two or more goals in each of their previous nine matches in all competitions. With these records, it is safe to stake on the goal market in this clash. However, with nothing seems to be separating the two sides, this game may end in a draw.
