VPS vs AC Oulu Prediction: VPS will secure the win

VPS hope to continue their fine form in the league when they host Oulu at the Lemonsoft Stadion on Wednesday. Oulu have seen just one win in their last 5 league outings. Can they make it two here? Below are previews, H2H, expert betting tips, and odds.

VPS

LWWDD

VPS were held to a goalless draw in their last game against Mariehamn. The draw was their second in a row after they had played a 1-1 draw against Ilves. However, they bounced back to winning ways in their recent cup fixture, where they defeated Inter Turku II 5-1. They remain unbeaten in their last 5 games in all competitions. They sit 2nd on the table with 24 points in 12 games, scoring 21 goals and conceding 14.

Mads Borchers will be a player to watch in this clash. He is the league’s top scorer with 8 goals. He was left out of the squad to face Inter Turku 2 in the cup fixture to give him enough rest for this clash.

AC Oulu

DLWLD

Oulu salvaged a 2-2 draw in their last game against Lahti. Ashley Coffey scored the first goal of the game for Oulu in the 6th minute, before Luke Ivanovic equalized in the 45th minute. Luke Ivanovic found the net again in the 46th minute to make it 2-1. Oulu became 1 goal down and 1 man down in the 66th minute when Ashley Coffey was given a second yellow card. However, Oulu was able to salvage a point when Niklas Jokelainen scored from the penalty spot in the 90+5th minute of the game. However, Oulu are back to winning ways with a 5-1 win in their last cup fixture against KaPa. Oulu sit 10th on the table with 8 points in all games, scoring 17 goals and conceding 23.

Head to Head

Both sides have met 21 times from 2010 till date. VPS won 8, Oulu won 6, and 7 games ended in draws. The last match between the two sides ended 2-1 in favor of VPS.

Expert Betting Tips

VPS remain one of the top teams in the league this season. They are 2nd on the table and are also unbeaten in their last 5 games this season. They have remained unbeaten in their previous 4 games against Oulu. No doubt, they have my backing here. However, I expect Oulu to score a consolation goal.
