FC Honka are on a five-match unbeaten run in the Veikkausliiga ahead of Friday night’s visit to AC Oulu. Just five points separate Honka from first-place HJK.
AC Oulu find themselves down the table in the Veikkausliiga. They sit in 10th place in the 12-team league. Results have been up and down, but AC Oulu go into the Friday night fixture on the back of two straight games without a loss.
Honka picked up 13 points from the last 18 points on offer in the Finnish top flight. They scored 13 goals and conceded just six times.
AC Oulu on the other hand, took only six points from the last 18 available to them. They were +1 in goal difference with 10 goals for and nine against.
AC Oulu have an abysmal head-to-head record against Honka in all competitions. Friday night’s home team posted a record of 0W-0D-6L against Honka in their last six meetings. Honka outscored AC Oulu 15-2 in those six matches.
The Finnish season is still in its infancy, but Honka have scored 13 goals. Jerry Voutilainen and Agon Sadiku have combined for six goals, three apiece.
AC Oulu are led in goals by Argentine forward Michael Lopez. The 24-year-old has accounted for 40% of AC Oulu’s goalscoring this season.
Friday night’s game will be played at AC Oulu’s Raatti Stadium. They have been better at home this season than on the road with five of their six points coming at the Raatti Stadium. AC Oulu are +3 in goals at home with six goals for and three against.
Honka have been steady on the road with four points from nine obtained. Their last two road matches ended without a loss.
Goals have been difficult to come by for Honka away from home. They have scored just three away goals while conceding two times. Honka defeated Lahti 2-0 in their last away fixture.
Honka kept a clean sheet in their last three away matches against AC Oulu in all competitions. However, all six of AC Oulu’s games this season finished with both teams scoring. Friday’s game should see both AC Oulu and Honka find the back of the net.
Three of Honka’s last five games in the Veikkausliiga finished with over 2.5 goals scored. Friday’s trip to AC Oulu should see Honka take a seventh straight win against with both teams scoring and over 2.5 goals scored. Honka could inch closer to first-place HJK.
