KuPS hope not only to return to winning ways in the league but also to get back to the top of the table when they meet Oulu on Friday at the Raatin Stadion. Oulu have only seen 2 wins in their last 20 games against KuPS. Can they get another one here? Below are previews, H2H, expert betting tips, and odds.

LWLDD
Oulu recorded a 2-0 win over VJS in their last game to advance to the quarter-finals of the Suomen Cup. In their previous league game, they fought back to record a 1-1 draw against VPS. Niklas Jokelainen scored for Oulu in the 28th minute after Evgeniy Bashkirov had put VPS ahead in the 14th minute. With these positive results, they are unbeaten in their last 4 games in all competitions and unbeaten in their previous 5 home games. They sit 10th on the table with 9 points in 12 games, scoring 18 goals and conceding 24.
KuPS
WWWLL
KuPS were defeated 3-1 in their last league outing by HJK. Petteri Pennanen opened the scoring for KuPS in the 38th minute before conceding 3 goals in the previous 10 minutes of the game. They had 55% possession of the ball in the game but got just 3 shots on target. However, they have returned to winning ways with a 5-1 win over PEPO in their last cup game. KuPS have only lost once in their previous 10 away games. They sit 2nd with 25 points in 13 games, scoring 24 goals and conceding 14. A win in this game will send them back to the top of the league table.
H2H
Both sides have met 20 times since 2011. Oulu won 2, KuPS won 16, and 2 ended in draws. The last game between the two sides ended in a 4-1 win for KuPS.
Expert Betting Tips
KuPS remain one of the best teams so far this season and will hope to bounce back to winning ways here to continue their stay at the top of the table. However, Oulu are struggling in the relegation zone and have found it hard playing against KuPS in their history. However, I expect both sides to find the net as the last 3 matches between the two sides have seen both teams score. Also, Oulu have scored in each of their previous 16 games.
