General match analysis

Oulu has a clearly stronger home profile: it has won 75% of its home matches, concedes just 0.63 goals per game on average at home, and keeps a clean sheet in 50% of those fixtures. However, the hosts are in weaker overall form, having scored only 3 goals in their last five appearances, won just once, and averaged 1 point per game. HJK arrives after 4 wins in its last 5 matches, scoring 11 goals and conceding only 4, while its average away xG stands at 1.57 compared with Oulu’s 1.32 at home. On the other hand, the visitors have lost as many as 44% of their away matches and concede an average of 1.33 goals on the road, whereas Oulu scores 1.25 goals per home game. The hosts’ defensive edge and highly solid home record narrowly outweigh HJK’s current attacking form.

View the statistical overview
BTTS - will both teams score?

The signal for BTTS - No is driven primarily by Oulu’s poor recent scoring form, with just 3 goals scored in their last 5 matches, averaging 0.6 per game. Over the same period, HJK conceded only 0.8 goals per match and kept a clean sheet in 22% of their games this season, while Oulu failed to score in 22% of their fixtures. Oulu’s season BTTS rate is only 33%, while their last five appearances produced this outcome in 40% of cases; HJK’s BTTS rate in their latest run is even lower at 20%. Although both teams create comparable-quality chances, with season xG of 1.56 for Oulu and 1.57 for HJK, the visitors’ attacking form is clearly superior: 2.2 goals per match compared with the hosts’ 0.6. The most likely scenario is therefore that HJK will score, while Oulu will fail to respond.

View BTTS statistics
Over/Under - goals analysis

The strongest signal is Over 1.5 goals, as HJK matches surpassed this line in 89% of games this season, compared with 56% for Oulu.

HJK are also in significantly better offensive form, scoring 11 goals in their last 5 matches, while Oulu conceded 7 goals over the same period. The 2.5 line is more evenly balanced, with both teams surpassing it in 56% of their matches this season, whereas 3.5 remains risky: Under 3.5 goals occurred in 67% of Oulu matches and 78% of HJK matches.
