Oulu vs HJK: June prediction, preview, line-ups and odds for match on June 14, 2025
Veikkausliiga Finland
Game Prediction
Oulu and HJK will play in the 12th round of the Finnish Veikkausliiga on June 14, 2025. The grandee from the capital of Finland has already lost a lot of points, and will come only for a victory in the game against the main outsider of the draw.
Preview: Oulu vs HJK
The club from Raati got 21 points in the regular cycle last season. Still, that is the most important, it was able to prove quite competitive in the “elimination group”, eventually finishing in 9th position. Speaking about the capital’s flagship, 2024 turned out to be unsuccessful. The team fell seriously behind KuPS and even Ilves. Having got 45 points, it finished the season in 3rd place, which is almost a failure for the long-standing champion.
It hasn’t become better now, and it’s not for nothing that the club has already replaced the coach in Helsinki. By the way, it had an effect: starting with 3 defeats, then only in the struggle with Inter Turku and then in the meeting with KuPS, which was held in the previous round, the team lost points because of draws – the rest of the matches were won. The hosts, on the contrary, having finally won, in the confrontation with KTP, then added only a couple of draws after 2 defeats. One way or another, they remain in last place.
The outsider No. 1 scores relatively a lot, 1.3 goals per game. Still, the team concede much more – 2.1. Pukki, who returned to his homeland to finish the performance, helps to ensure a ratio of 2.1 scored and 1.0 goal conceded.
