Kuopion Palloseura Team Overview
After 20 rounds, KuPS led Inter by five points, but that advantage has since disappeared: in the next five rounds, Miika Nuutinen's side have won just once. The two clubs are now level on points, with KuPS ahead only on goal difference. Nuutinen took charge of the champions before the season and has already guided them into the league phase of the Conference League - for the second consecutive year. It is a busy schedule: after Oulu, KuPS play Inter in Turku and then face Trabzonspor, all within a week.

Oulu Team Overview
Oulu started the season with three consecutive wins and led the Veikkausliiga after the third round. The team managed by Mikko Isokangas did reach the championship group, but they now sit bottom of it with 34 points. Their target is fourth place, which could bring a European spot, but they are seven points off it. In the autumn, Oulu lost three consecutive league matches, all three by a single goal. Their attack has been letting them down: they have scored just two goals in their last five rounds.

⭐ Editor's Prediction
KuPS have failed to score more than two goals in 13 consecutive matches. The combined scoring has been equally low: five matches in a row where both teams together have not exceeded two goals. Oulu offer little to get excited about as visitors either - they have not scored more than one goal in nine consecutive away league matches. Their away games have generally been quiet affairs: fewer than four goals combined in 8 of their last 9. We're expecting cautious football with one or two goals. The bet is Total Goals - Under 2.5. Predicted score: 1-1.
