In the last match, they won in an away match against KTP, by (1‑3).

AC Oulu enters the next round of the Veikkausliiga currently occupying 12th place, a delicate situation in the Finnish Championship table.

The tactical formation used by the coach emphasizes the need for defensive adjustments and a reactive stance, exploring quick transitions, but the team has come up against limitations in protecting its goal. Despite the victory in the last league match against KTP away from home, by 3-1, the sequence of defeats and defensive vulnerability remain critical points. AC Oulu understands the importance of finding its defensive balance again playing in front of their fans, with the expectation of using the home advantage as a differential to seek points and start a comeback in the competition.
