Head-to-head statistics Vaasa - Oulu
Vaasa PS Team Overview
VPS secured their top-six place largely on the back of their home form: 18 of their 33 points were earned in Vaasa. The goals have followed the same pattern - 18 in 11 home matches compared to 11 away. Towards the end of the regular season, Jussi Nuorela's side went quiet in attack, managing just two goals in three rounds. Their most recent home match ended in defeat to Lahti. The opponents here are familiar ones - this will be the third time the two sides have met in September alone. VPS have scored in 12 consecutive home matches in this fixture, and Oulu have yet to end that run. The spring away meeting told a different story, though: VPS lost that one after Martti Haukioja was sent off.

Oulu Team Overview
Oulu came into the top-six phase on the back of a narrow run of results: first a 1-0 win away at Jaro in Pietarsaari, then a goalless draw at home to SJK on 31 August. That match was also their farewell to Raatti - Mikko Isokangas's side are due to play their home games in the championship round at a new stadium. Oulu finished the regular season with a goal difference of zero, 25 scored and 25 conceded. Away from home they managed 13 goals in 11 matches, five of which came in the opening round of the season. In their last four rounds they scored three times. Then, at the end of August, they brought in experienced striker Roope Riski from Ilves.

Correct Score Prediction
According to the algorithm's calculations, the most likely scorelines are 1-1 (12.92%), 1-0 (10.78%) and 2-1 (8.75%). The 1-1 draw comes out on top, but the probabilities for all three outcomes are fairly close, which reflects an expected competitive match with low scoring.
⭐ Editor's Prediction
Oulu have failed to score more than one goal in eight consecutive away Veikkausliiga matches. The hosts tell a similar story: VPS themselves have scored fewer than two goals in 7 of their last 8 league matches. Overall, Oulu's matches have been low-scoring for some time - fewer than three goals have been scored in 6 of their last 7 league games. We're expecting a cautious match with one or two goals between the sides. The bet is Total Goals - Under 2.5. Predicted score - 1:1.
