KuPS and Oulu meet in the league where KuPS still lead the table, while Oulu are clinging to the upper group not far behind. But the expected pattern of play suggests this game will go the way of KuPS having more of the ball and gradually pressing Oulu back to defend and wait to counter. Oulu come in unbeaten in three straight, but the defence still shows cracks from the 3-4 loss and the 4-3 win, both games where they traded blows heavily. KuPS, although their latest league results have not brought three straight wins, overall across the season are still the team with the most wins in this fixture and a clearer goal difference. If KuPS get to dominate possession and push high as they often do, the game will likely be played in Oulu's half in spells, and chances will come from repeated attacking moves rather than waiting for a single moment. The first half may still be close, but in the second half KuPS should be seen pressing harder and finding the chance to close out the game.
