The Finland League Cup is taking shape and only two of six teams would reach the next stage. AC Oulu's next test is against third place Haka. AC Oulu has impressed a lot this season while Haka isn't as good as they are, and it's quite surprising to see the odds distribution here. I'm predicting this tie to go in favor of AC Oulu and hence an away win or draw. This is why I'm confident in the visitors;
[1] AC Oulu is the only team in this group without a defeat. All other teams have lost at least a game in this league cup in four games played but AC Oulu has two wins and two draws in four matches. Anybody who has watched AC Oulu in the last few weeks would not doubt their abilities in this game. They are a resilient team and very hard to beat. Since the start of this year, AC Oulu has participated in two competitions and have not lost any game. Their first two games of the year weren't so great but they managed to get a draw against Ilves and VPS. AC Oulu's win over SJK was against the odds and they really performed well enough for me to tip this tie in their favour.
[2] Haka's form is worrying and they have only won once in four tries. They aren't a good attacking team and they lost players in the last window which makes this even worse. Their defense has been their major strength but this has not been the case in recent games as they have failed to keep a single clean sheet in all their matches this year. They simply do not have the players to compete properly with the rest of the teams and they look set to miss out on the next stage of the league cup.
AC Oulu is certainly a better team at this stage of the competition and I don't see them losing to Haka. They can go all the way to win it but they are in a comfortable position and can afford a draw, so I'm going with an away win or draw
