KuPS vs Oulu Match Analysis and Prediction

2 years ago 376

KuPS will be looking to return to winning ways when they welcome AC Oulu to Savon Sanomat Areena for their Veikkausliiga Matchday 12 tie on Wednesday evening.

KuPS have made a strong campaign at the early stages of the 2022 Veikkausliiga campaign with the side claiming eight victories and two draws from their opening 11 matches. They suffered their first defeat this season last Saturday at the hands of third-placed Honka with a 2-0 scoreline at away.

They have now gone two matches in the Veikkausliiga without a win as they were previously coming off a 0-0 draw against HJK. They now will be desperate to return to winning ways as they seek to keep their top-spot in the league. Having won all their last six meeting against their visitors, we ae tempted to put our money behind the Veikkausliiga leaders.

Meanwhile, Oulu head into the match in high spirits following their 1-0 win over the second-placed HJK, with Michael Steven sealing the deal through a penalty kick in the 73^rd minute. They have now lost just once in their last five matches across all competitions, while have now won all their last three league matches in a row.

Actually, their only defeat in Veikkausliiga in their last seven games came against KuPS in the reverse fixture back in May. Ricarco Palloseura’s side now sit fourth in the league standings on 18 points, four points above the bottom half and they will hoping to extend their winning streak in the Veikkausliiga.

However the last time they won against KuPS was back in 2011 and will take a lot effort to get anything away from the Wednesday clash.
