Massive team news, two absolute key players out!

Reigning Veikkausliiga champions KuPS are looking to continue their strong run of form on Friday when they visit AC Oulu at Raatin Stadium. Jarkko Wiss’s side recently convincingly thrashed both HJK and Gnistan and have thrown themselves back into the title race. AC Oulu, too, has finally begun to find its rhythm, so the question is: who will come out on top?

AC Oulu, led by Mikko Isokangas, secured a home win over VPS during the Nightless Night round, pushing their points total to eight. While that still wasn’t enough to lift them off the bottom of the table, there seems to be a growing sense of positivity in the navy-blue camp. They also defeated SJK in the Finnish Cup, demonstrating their ability to beat strong sides.

Team news - AC Oulu:

The hosts will be missing a key player on Friday, as Niklas Jokelainen is suspended after reaching the card limit. Santeri Silander, Danny Barrow, Marokhy Ndione, and Otto Kemppainen also appear to be sidelined with injuries.

KuPS, on the other hand, seem to have responded with determination after their embarrassing defeat away to IFK Mariehamn. They bounced back by progressing in the Cup and hammering both Helsinki-based clubs at home. With their players returning from the U21 European Championships, things are looking very good — especially with Agon Sadiku and Joslyn Luyeye-Lutumba both in scoring form.

Team news - KuPS:

There’s also a notable absence for KuPS, as Ibrahim Cissé is suspended and will miss the match. Johannes Kreidl is likely still out with an injury, along with Paulo Ricardo and Samuel Pasanen. If Kreidl - the gk - is out again, KuPS are pretty much doomed to concede a goal or two, the keeper Aatu Hakala has not played much and has lost his self-confidence.

This time, the bet leans toward AC Oulu. KuPS have a Champions League qualifying match coming up next week, and that will demand some focus and squad management. AC Oulu, by contrast, comes into the match with more rest and the advantage of playing at home. It wouldn’t be surprising to see KuPS drop points on Friday.

Good luck!

重大球队新闻，两名关键球员出局！

维科斯甲卫冕冠军尤科斯希望在周五的比赛中继续他们的强势状态，届时他们将在拉廷球场做客AC奥卢。Jarkko Wiss的球队最近令人信服地击败了hkk和Gnistan，并重新进入了冠军争夺战。AC奥卢也终于开始找到自己的节奏，所以问题是：谁将脱颖而出？

在米科·伊索坎加斯的带领下，AC奥卢在无夜之夜的比赛中主场战胜了VPS，将积分提高到8分。虽然这还不足以把他们从积分榜上拉下来，但在海军蓝阵营中似乎有一种越来越积极的感觉。他们还在芬兰杯上击败了SJK，展示了他们击败强队的能力。

球队新闻-奥卢：

东道主将在周五的比赛中失去一名关键球员，尼克拉斯·约克莱宁在达到牌限后将停赛。桑特里·斯兰德、丹尼·巴罗、马洛基·恩迪奥内和奥托·坎帕宁似乎也因伤缺阵。

另一方面，在客场败给IFK玛丽汉之后，up队似乎下定了决心。他们在杯赛中晋级，并在主场击败了赫尔辛基的两家俱乐部。随着他们的球员从U21欧洲杯上回来，情况看起来很好，尤其是阿贡·萨迪库和乔斯林·卢耶-卢滕巴都有进球状态。

团队新闻- up：

同样值得注意的是，尤普斯将缺席比赛，因为易卜拉欣·西塞维尔将停赛。约翰内斯·克雷德尔可能仍然会因伤缺阵，还有保罗·里卡多和萨穆埃尔·帕萨宁。如果克里德尔再次缺阵，那么吉普斯几乎注定要丢一两个球，门将阿图·哈卡拉也没怎么上场，他已经失去了自信。

这一次，赌注倾向于AC奥卢。下周将有一场欧冠预选赛，这将需要一些注意力和球队管理。相比之下，AC奥卢在比赛中有更多的休息和主场比赛的优势。在周五看到支持率下降一点也不奇怪。

好运！
