Bogey team visits Finland´s Manchester

H2H: 6-5-8

29.04.2009 MYPA – TamU 4-1

In the first round´s game at MYPA TamU got destroyed at the second half, and is trying to show that the lessons are learned,” MYPA was far better than us, but we have improved a lot since the early season, and this game will be decided on the mental front. We are getting back those players Pirinen and Petrescu who have a strong will and capacity on turning games into our favour,” says TamU coah Ari Hjelm.

Both teams have started the season worse than expected, but have been on an upward trend lately. The return of goal-keeper Mikko Kavén to TamU goal has helped the defence significantly and TamU have not conceded a goal in the three games when he has been back, ” It has hardly anything to do with me, ” says the modest Kavén, ” but now it is the striker´s turn to show something more. We have got a lot of draws lately and it will lead us nowhere.”

MYPA won poor travellers RoPS 4-0 at home last round, and have won two games in the row. TamU has also been a surprisingly succesful club to visit during recent years, and MYPA is ready again to fight for the important three points. MYPA have no new injury worries, TamU situation is also getting slightly better round after round and mf Tomi Petrescu might be fielded after a long absence.

Prediction: TamU should not lose, but MYPA has beeb a bogey team lately for the Tampere outfit. Home win is the natural choice here, will look at the options later.

Edit: Later is now. Sbobet offers 1.99 for TamU - 0.5 which is acceptable but nothing huge as my limit is set to 1.96. There is very little margin for estimation error, but I had to take something it would be my choice for this game. Price and limit for MYPA + 0.5 is 2.04/1.93
