Match description

I predict an away win (Oulu). Ilves have lost all 3 home matches so far (0% wins), conceding an average of 3.0 goals per game and scoring only 1.0 goal with an average xG of 1.74, indicating serious defensive issues despite creating chances. Oulu on the road score on average 2.25 goals and concede 1.5, have a 50% win rate away and 25% clean sheets, and a shot conversion rate of 18% versus Ilves’ 7% points to significantly better attacking efficiency from the visitors. The form gap is also visible in points over the last 5 matches: Ilves 0.4 points per game vs Oulu 1.2 points per game, and league positions 11 vs 1 further favour Oulu. Therefore, given the markedly weaker home defense and superior visitor efficiency, I assess the probabilities at approximately 70% for Oulu, 18% for a draw and 12% for an Ilves upset.
