SJK began last season with great focus but faltered towards the end, finishing 4th in the table with 42 points, 11 points behind the table-toppers. Despite their strong start, they missed out on a European competition spot after a 3-2 loss to AC Oulu in the quarter-finals of the conference league playoffs. Currently, SJK is unbeaten in their last 4 games.
AC Oulu
AC Oulu faced numerous challenges last season, finding themselves in the relegation battle. However, they managed to top the relegation group with 38 points, securing their spot in the top-tier league but missing out on European qualification. Despite defeating SJK in the quarter-finals of the conference league playoffs, they suffered a heavy 5-0 defeat to Honka in the semi-finals, failing to advance to the finals. AC Oulu have only won one of their last 13 games, spanning from last season through the preseason. Notably, their sole victory in the last 13 games came against SJK in the league cup.
Expert Betting Tips
Considering AC Oulu's recent challenges, including just one win in their last 13 games, I'm not expecting them to turn things around easily. Therefore, my money is on Kerho to win this clash. Additionally, AC Oulu have scored in 3 of their last 4 games. Moreover, with 8 of the last 13 games between these two sides seeing both teams scoring, the both-team-to-score option is also a reasonable pick.
