Tampere has IMO the best material of all teams in Veikkausliiga and they'll do their best today for sure. There is a money prize for the winners of Liiga Cup which motivates all teams.
Oulu are newcomers to this years league and they have along with KooTeePee the poorest material IMO.
Today both teams have some absentees, maybe Oulu's is worse.
They're playing indoors on a full size pitch, it's artificial grass, if I'm not wrong.

This match will be played in Pirkka-halli complex - rightmost building in picture. It is fullsize arteficial grass venue - I think it is so calld 1st generation surface - not the best ones like 3rd generation.

Tampere u will miss Lindström (suspended 2 match), Kaven (knee injury) and J-P Savolainen (hamstring). But it is possible that Saarinen, Pohja and Myntti will be available - they haven't played so far in league cup. They are not in form but as TamU is almost throught to knoc out stage they may earn some minutes. With win tonight Tampere is guaranteed to be in final 8.

AC Oulu surprisingly beat VPS but then lost to poor Inter at home. Now they are likely to miss Rafinha, Hietanen, Koivuranta, Meriläinen and Vilppola. Järvitalo may return and new guy on trial - belarussian Dmitri Ogorodnik - and new signing kosovoan Ymer Xhaferi may deputize as well as does american Peter Louis. Oulu will have match also on Saturday away vs TPS so I guess that this is kind of pre-match for Saturday.

For me 1.40 is enough to go with high stakes even I haven't seen single game of Oulu so far.

I didn't know that professional football can be played on indoor stages. It reminds me of saloon football. I guess there is more goals to be scored in this stages comparing to outdoors (lol i feel like talking about tennis).

Would you consider going for over 2.5 goals instead of HW with better price?

Around 1.6 @ Betfair.
