Oulu vs Vaasa Prediction, H2H Stats & Statistical Bets 28 October 2026
🔊 In October, Oulu have been flawless on the road, picking up maximum points in three consecutive away games to climb to fourth in the Championship Group. But things look very different at home for Mikko Isokangas’s side: they’re winless in their last six Veikkausliiga fixtures on their own turf, suffering defeat in five of those matches. Now VPS come to town, a team struggling mightily in front of goal - they haven’t scored more than once in any of their last nine outings. So which will prevail on Wednesday: the hosts’ home woes or the visitors’ attacking impotence?
Head-to-Head
VPS beat Oulu 1-0 in their most recent Veikkausliiga meeting, despite equal possession and being outshot 16-7 overall and 5-2 on target.
Across 24 head-to-head meetings, VPS have a slight edge: 10 wins to Oulu's eight, with six draws. On Oulu's ground, though, the picture is reversed: the hosts have won six of the 11 matches, with VPS winning three.
Head-to-head statistics Oulu - Vaasa
Oulu Team Overview
Oulu won their last Veikkausliiga match away at Gnistan, 4-3. Despite Gnistan creating more dangerous attacks, Oulu had more shots - 20 to 14.
Oulu earned their fourth place on the road. In October, Isokangaas's side beat three of their championship group rivals away from home: KuPS, Inter Turku and Gnistan. The last of those away trips, to Helsinki, finished 4-3 and was a nervy affair. Oulu had scored three times and conceded once by half-time. All three goals were down to captain Rasmus Karjalainen: two came from his corners, and the third was his own goal. "We didn't play perfectly. There was a lot of chaos in the game, and some simple mistakes too," Isokangaas admitted. On the positive side, Oulu now have 43 points, one more than Gnistan. "A European spot is in our hands, but it's too early to think about that," the manager added.
Match Results: Oulu
Vaasa PS Team Overview
VPS lost their previous Veikkausliiga match at home to Inter Turku, going down 1-0. The hosts managed five shots but none on target, while their opponents had 11 attempts.
VPS have almost forgotten how to score. The Vaasa side have managed just four goals in their last ten Veikkausliiga matches, and their results have suffered accordingly: since mid-September they have won only once. On Saturday they lost at home to league leaders Inter Turku by a single goal. The visitors sit bottom of the championship group with 39 points, four behind Oulu. There is some cause for confidence, though: in the last meeting between the sides, on 8 September, VPS won at home 1-0. That said, back in April in Oulu, the Vaasa side left with nothing and without scoring.

Safer Bet
There haven’t been more than three goals in any of the last eight head-to-head clashes played at Oulu’s ground. Both sides have struggled to score freely this season. We’re not expecting a fourth goal here either. The bet is on under 3.5 goals.
Correct Score Prediction
In the current season, the most common scoreline is 1-1, which has occurred in 27 of 170 matches (15.9%). At home, Oulu's most frequent winning scoreline is 1-0, which has come up three times in 14 matches (21.4%). VPS away from home also show 1-0 as their most common result, likewise appearing three times in 14 matches (21.4%).
⭐ Editorial Prediction
Matches involving VPS tend to be low-scoring: in 7 of their last 8 Veikkausliiga fixtures, the two sides combined for no more than two goals. The main factor is the visitors' attack - VPS have managed just one goal or none in nine consecutive matches. We expect the Vaasa side to score no more than once in Oulu, with fewer than three goals in the match overall. Our pick is Total Goals - Under 2.5.
