Match preview
AC Oulu welcome SJK in round 22 of the Veikkausliiga regular season, with the hosts looking to secure their position inside the top six Championship Group zone. AC Oulu currently sit sixth on 33 points, having taken six victories from ten league fixtures on home soil while conceding just nine goals in that span.
SJK travel with a poor away record, having claimed only one victory from ten road matches in the league alongside six defeats. With 18 goals conceded away from home and five away outings failing to yield a goal, the visitors face a demanding test against a solid defensive setup.
Recent head-to-head encounters also favour AC Oulu, who have won the last three meetings between these sides across all competitions without conceding a single goal, including a 1-0 away league victory in May 2026.
