AC Oulu (home)
- AC Oulu have won six, drawn one and lost one of their eight home games in Veikkausliiga 2026, conceding just five goals.
- Mikko Isokangas has his AC Oulu men set up in a 4-2-3-1, but they are a flexible side that will happily alter into a 3-5-2 or 4-3-3 as the game dictates.
HJK (away)
- HJK's Veikkausliiga 2026 away record reads three wins, two draws and three losses (W/D/L), scoring 1.88 and conceding 1.12 goals per away match.
- Joonas Rantanen's HJK are flying at the moment with four straight wins on the spin, four wins from five and a 3-0 away win at Coleraine in Europe last Thursday night.
Head-to-Head
- AC Oulu (3rd) take on HJK Helsinki (4th) in a game with top-of-the-table implications in the Veikkausliiga 2026 when they face off at Raatin stadion on Sunday.
- Oulu beat HJK 1-0 away in Veikkausliiga 2026 three months ago and showed they can nick it against the bigger club in a statement performance.
Key Players
- Rasmus Karjalainen, with eight goals in 18 Veikkausliiga 2026 games, is their man in form.
- Mads Borchers, with seven goals in 15 Veikkausliiga 2026 matches, is their main man and will be difficult to contain on Sunday.
Betting Insights
HJK have the edge in the betting and the odds of 2.22 are hard to pass up, but AC Oulu are coming in at 2.87 and the draw at 3.55 .
Prediction
However, we like HJK to win or at least take a draw back from Oulu because they are on a streak right now and they control the game in a way that should test Oulu's disciplined structure.
