These teams met around two months ago, with AC Oulu winning 1:0 at home at Raatin stadion in Oulu. It was a very close game, which could have gone either way. Looking further back, over the past ten H2H games, TPS won six times, and AC Oulu only twice.
When it comes to the number of goals, only one of those ten h2h games ended with three or more goals, while both teams scored in one game as well.
TPS team overview
TPS secured promotion to Veikkausliiga last year after eliminating KTP in the Playoff. This year, their main goal is to survive, and they had an amazing start to the season, avoiding defeat in the first six games. Unfortunately, since then, they haven't been even remotely as good and are evidently struggling to find their rhythm. At the moment, they sit in 7th place with 19 points and are super close to the Championship Group.
After a 3:1 loss to SJK, coach Ivan Piñol spoke to the media. He said they showed character in the second half and deservedly equalized as they created a lot of chances. However, the coach added that they did not react well in the final part of the game on a few occasions and were punished for it.

AC Oulu team overview
AC Oulu were constantly in the relegation group for the last several seasons, and no one really expected a big change. However, they surprised most football pundits as they spent most of this season at the top two spots. Now, after winning only one point in the last two games, they dropped to 3rd spot, but can surely be satisfied with what they accomplished thus far. Still, on the road, they weren't too impressive and will surely be a challenge to secure a positive result.
In recent days, the team's captain, Rasmus Karjalainen, spoke on the club's website. He said they need mental toughness and strength to move forward to bigger games ahead. The captain said they could surprise teams in the early stages of the season, but not anymore because of what they have shown so far.
For the upcoming game, defender Juha Pirinen will be unavailable as he serves a one-game suspension. 34-year-old Pirinen played every single minute in Veikkausliiga, and his absence will surely be a factor.

Prediction
TPS haven't been great lately, but most of their poor results came on the road. At home, they were great, winning six out of eight games across competitions and scoring in each of them. They scored against teams like HJK and KuPS, and should be able to score here as well.
AC Oulu were great for this bet lately, as both teams scored in their last three games and in four of the past five. On the road, they have had some problems, but still managed to score in six out of their eight matches.
Considering all the above, we believe that both teams to score is the safest option for this Veikkausliiga tie.
3 Reasons why both teams should score
- TPS scored in all eighty home games across competitions
- Both teams scored in AC Oulu's last three games
- AC Oulu scored in six out of eight road games
