AC Oulu welcome Ilves at Raatin stadion, Oulu on Saturday, Aug 1 at 4:00 PM in a Veikkausliiga fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 1 point split them in the table.
AC Oulu come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 0D 3L). Ilves travel out of form (1W 2L recently), which may hand the initiative to the hosts. AC Oulu won their last outing, while Ilves suffered defeat — home advantage backed by momentum.
Despite playing at home, AC Oulu face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Ilves have won 8 of 10 encounters, with 2 draws. Their last encounter ended in AC Oulu won 0–1.
Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives AC Oulu a slight edge, but Ilves are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
