Oulu vs KuPS Preview 


Both sides stepped up their game and won their last two encounters across competitions. KuPS are doing much better in the standings but rarely keep a clean sheet on the road, so I am predicting both teams to score on Friday.

Stats 


  • Oulu have seen BTTS in 5 of their last 7 matches. 
  • KuPS have seen BTTS in 2 of their last 3 matches. 
  • KuPS Joslyn Luyeye-Lutumba has scored 4 goals in his last 2 matches. 

HTH 


KuPS have a 22-3 advantage against Oulu with 2 draws in 27 matches. 

They last met in April, the game being won by KuPS 1-0. 

Oulu Form 


Oulu remain one of the main relegation candidates in the Veikkausliiga, collecting just eight points in thirteen matches and sit in last 12th place. 

Mikko Isokangas’ side suffered back to back league defeats to HJK Helsinki 4-0 and Jaro 2-1 in the second half of June, but then caused an upset in the Finnish Cup by beating SJK 2-0 to advance to the semifinal. 

Oulu made it two in a row last weekend, outplaying VPS Vaasa 2-1 in front of the home crowd. Justin Rennicks was man of the match, scoring a brace. 

KuPS Form 


KuPS are having great run so far in the Veikkausliiga, topping the table with 29 points after 15 matches (nine wins, two draws and four defeats). 

They had much bigger advantage over other title contenders, but back to back defeats to Ilves 3-0 and Mariehamn 1-0 in mid-June were quite costly. 

Jarkko Wiss’ side recovered recently with two convincing victories, dispatching HJK Helsinki 3-0 and Gnistan 6-2 in front of the home crowd, Joslyn Luyeye-Lutumba scoring four goals in these encounters. 

KuPS also earned a spot in the national cup semifinals by eliminating Haka on penalties in late June (1-1 in regular time). 

Team News 


Oulu’s Niklas Jokelainen is going to miss this match due to suspension, while Danny Barrow is injured. 

As for the visitors, Samuel Pasanen is recovering from a knee injury, while Ibrahim Cisse is serving a one-match suspension. 

Predicted Starting Lineups  


Oulu: Eskelinen, Cassama, Koskela, Bergsma, Pitkanen, Tihi, Kaukoa, Siander, Jokelainen, Ojala, Rennicks

KuPS: Hakala, Savolainen, Arifi, Cisse, Miettinen, Oksanen, Pennanen, Antwi, Ruoppi,  Luyeye-Lutumba, Sadiku

Verdict

KuPS are the table leaders but kept just two clean sheets in their last ten appearances. Oulu are coming off two straight victories, so BTTS is the best bet. 

Also, KuPS' Joslyn Luyeye-Lutumba is in red-hot form, bagging four goals in his last two matches, so I like his chances of finding the net on Friday.
