OLS Oulu will be aiming to get their title chase back on track when they host KPV at Castren on Wednesday afternoon in matchweek 12 of Finland’s Ykkonen.
Despite going into the break with the lead in hand, OLS Oulu were eventually forced to dig deep and claw their way to a late equalizer in a thrilling 2-2 draw away at Tampere Utd, a slip-up that knocked them off their perch at the summit of the table.
One of the key elements behind OLS's slip from the summit was their midweek visitor KPV, who put up a feeble and disjointed display in a crushing 7-1 away defeat to Inter Turku II, a result that left them just three points clear of basement-dwelling Atlantis.
OLS Oulu vs KPV Betting Tips : OLS TO WIN
Counting the 1-0 setback to Ekenas in mid-June that marked the end of their Suomen Cup adventure, OLS Oulu now find themselves in the midst of a not-so-pleasant run with no wins in four straight games, but they are geared up to throw everything they've got on the pitch in pursuit of a priceless three points. Home turf continues to serve as a vital source of momentum for Mikko Mannila’s squad, as all four of their wins this season and a strong 76% of their total points have come in front of their supporters, underlining just how pivotal their own ground has been in shaping their campaign so far. The chances of OLS solidifying their strong home form look very promising with the arrival of a KPV side that appears lost and lacking ideas on enemy turf, having barely managed a single point from their first five away visits this term, not to mention conceding a shocking seven goals in two of their last three outings. Considering that OLS Oulu have not only dominated results at home but also demonstrated fierce attacking power by scoring three or more goals in four of their last six matches at Castren ground, it’s clear that a defensively disorganized KPV is in for a tough day at the office on Wednesday.

KPV team news
Disappointed after conceding seven goals in two of the last three matches, an angry and frustrated coach Goncalo Pereira is ready to make significant changes to the starting lineup.
Seco Sani and Luka Nuorela could earn starting spots for Wednesday’s clash after coming off the bench early in the second half against Inter Turku II last time out.
