Week 6 features a match on Saturday May 7th, where Oulu hosts HIFK in a meeting of these two Veikkausliiga teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 8 degrees, so hopefuly the match makes up for the weather. Oulu sits at 8th place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 3-0 shutout win against Haka. Liimatta scored the first goal for Oulu in the 2nd minute, then Dennis Salanović added another in the 44th minute on a penalty shot At the end of 90 a dissapointed Haka couldn’t manage to score, and Oulu took the shutout win.

Miro Tenho struck first for HJK in the %Minute minute of the %HalfNumber half’s stoppage time, then Bojan Radulovic Samoukovic added another in the 70th minute In the end, HIFK was frustrated by HJK’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. HJK ended the match with the shutout victory. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 6 points in their last 10 matches.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season, so it will be interesting how the match turns out. Last season HIFK won the head to head battle with 2 wins.
Pipe Sáez and Eetu Puro are the top scorers for HIFK in the last five matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal.. Oulu is glad to have Michael López in top form. In the last 5 matches the attacker has scored four goals.
