Oulu Ilves betting prediction

The home team is currently in the 8^th position of the league, with 18 points won, after 4 wins, 6 draws and 7 losses. In the penultimate match, they won in a home match against EIF, by (2‑0). In the last match, they lost in an away match against HJK, by (3‑0). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 3 wins, 3 draws and 9 losses in away matches, with 21 goals scored and 35 conceded; against 6 wins, 5 draws and 4 losses at their stadium, with 24 goals scored and 20 conceded. For the league, Oulu won 12 points out of 24 possible points, after 3 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses in the last 8 home matches. The most recurrent result at half‑time in their home league matches was the 0‑0 (3 out of 8 matches). They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches for this competition. 5 of their last 8 matches for this competition have ended with Under 2,5 goals, so there is a tendency for few goals in their home matches. They have conceded the first goal in 10 of their 17 matches for this competition, and have only turned the score around in 1. In the last 16 home matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 7 of their 20 goals between minutes (61'‑75').

Oulu enters the match aware of the need for a good result to climb the standings and gain a new perspective in the championship. The team currently sits in 8th place with 18 points and will need to change its approach in this home game to secure a victory against a tough opponent. The expectation is that the team will adopt a defensive stance, aiming to hit on the counterattack to secure three more points for the rest of the season. In the last round, they suffered a (3-0) defeat against HJK, the league leaders, but previously secured two important victories and hope to regain their winning form in this crucial match.

Confirmed Lineup: Callum Ward, José Elo Ayeto, Liiban Abdirahman Abadid, Julius Körkkö, Aleksi Paananen, Jake Dunwoody, Dimitris Metaxas, Simon Bengtsson, A. Coffey, Daniel Barrow, André Alsanti.
