View the statistical overviewBTTS - will both teams score?
The BTTS signal is clearly below the league average: VPS has seen both teams score in 36% of its matches, while Oulu stands at 45%, compared with 49% across the league. In their last five matches, Oulu recorded BTTS in just 20% of cases, scoring an average of 0.8 goals and conceding 0.8, which points to frequent matches in which only one side finds the net. VPS has a solid seasonal defensive record, conceding an average of 0.82 goals and keeping a clean sheet in 45% of matches, so the visitors may struggle to score. Oulu does concede an average of 1.45 goals, but the hosts score only 1.09 goals per match and also failed to score in 27% of their appearances. Lower recent scoring figures—1.0 goals for VPS and 0.8 for Oulu per match—support the scenario in which at least one team fails to score, making BTTS - No the preferred outcome.
