HJK Helsinki vs AC Oulu Predictions

• The hosts are unbeaten in their last nine matches and haven’t conceded in their last three.
• The visitors are without a clean sheet in their last five matches against HJK.
• Oulu have opened the scoring in eight of their last nine games.

Undefeated run on the line

Second-placed HJK welcomes fourth-placed Oulu to the Bolt Arena and they’ll be hoping they can extend their unbeaten streak to 10 matches. Winning will be the target though and it looks likely considering they have claimed victory seven times across their last nine matches. Their home form has been impressive as they’ve won four of the five matches in front of their home fans, but they’ll need to be wary as, despite the good results, they’re conceding an average of 1.6 goals per match.

Visitors Oulu have made a fairly good start themselves and sit firmly in the top half. However, they have won just once in their four away trips so far this campaign and that came against bottom-three outfit, Lahti. They’ve been quick out of the blocks however and have scored the opening goal in eight of their last nine matches – if they’re to claim a result here, a similar feat might be required.

Hosts to clinch the win in style

The hosts are in good form but have conceded a fair few goals, but they do have the added advantage of being on home soil. We think they pick up the win here and do so with the match seeing at least three goals in total.
