Recent Form

Oulu’s Recent Results

Oulu’s record over their last 5 matches is 2 wins, 0 draws, 3 losses:

2026-06-18: Oulu 2:1 Mariehamn
2026-05-31: Oulu 2:1 Jaro
2026-05-08: Ilves 1:0 Oulu
2026-04-15: Oulu 1:2 Jaro
2026-04-14: Oulu 1:2 Jaro

Judging by the results, Oulu are showing signs of an upturn, having won their last two matches by 2:1. Their defence, however, has been shaky — they have conceded in all of their last 5 matches, shipping 7 goals in total.

Lahti’s Recent Results

Lahti’s record over their last 5 matches is 4 wins, 1 draw, 0 losses:

2026-05-30: Lahti 5:0 Ilves
2026-05-18: Lahti 1:1 VPS Vaasa
2026-04-28: Prani 2:4 Lahti
2026-04-13: Kotka 1:3 Lahti
2026-04-12: KTP Kotka 1:3 Lahti

Lahti have been noticeably more consistent of late, going 5 matches unbeaten with standout attacking output — 16 goals in their last 5 games. That said, their defence is not entirely watertight either: apart from the 5:0 win, they have conceded in every other match.

Head-to-Head History

No head-to-head data between the two sides was provided for this preview, so it is not possible to assess their past playing styles against each other, any home or away psychological edge, or whether one side tends to have the other’s number. This gap in the data warrants lowering our confidence in the prediction.

Statistical Analysis

Attacking Performance

Oulu, goals in the last 5 matches: 6 goals, averaging 1.2 per game
Lahti, goals in the last 5 matches: 16 goals, averaging 3.2 per game

Lahti’s recent attacking efficiency has been clearly superior to Oulu’s, with at least 3 goals scored in several consecutive matches — their attack is in the sharper form.

Defensive Performance

Oulu, goals conceded in the last 5 matches: 7 goals, averaging 1.4 per game
Lahti, goals conceded in the last 5 matches: 4 goals, averaging 0.8 per game

Lahti’s defensive numbers are better than Oulu’s, but with insufficient information about the strength of the opponents in this sample, this advantage should not be overstated.

Likelihood of a Draw

Based on the data available, Oulu have had no draws in their last 5 matches, while Lahti have had 1. Oulu have won their last two home matches 2:1, and Lahti are unbeaten overall with greater firepower, so there is some room for a back-and-forth contest — but going by recent attacking form, Lahti look better placed to take points here.

Match Prediction

Oulu have won two in a row and their home attack has some continuity; Lahti, meanwhile, are in more complete form, unbeaten in their last 5 with clearly stronger goalscoring ability. Given the absence of league-table and head-to-head data, we cannot offer a high level of confidence. Weighing up recent results, Lahti hold a slight edge, though away from home they will still need to guard against Oulu finding the net.

Predicted score: Oulu 1:2 Lahti

Confidence rating: ★★★☆☆ (3/5)
