OPA - Santa Claus on Wednesday

I know this bet looks a bit funny for anyone outside the country and it is difficult to make it fit in the scale if we think about a regular match in any given league.

However, I took OPA - 2.75 @ 1.70 with ease in mind. The price does not look too good or the handicap too easy to beat, but the quality gap at Kakkonen between top teams and bottom teams is huge. We have to forget all professional leagues when we analyze Kakkonen.

Especially when it involves travel during midweek after a long day at work.

OPA do even have some injury problems, which is equalled by Santa Claus having according to different sources up to 4 players suspended from this game. I say different sources because the official source updates the official stats like a caveman would do.

OPA is a professional team with strong desire to get promoted, Santa Claus is a mixture of ex-players and future hopes from even one division lower, and for them travel is no fun.

Looking forward to a comfortable 3,4 - 0. OPA have scored only two goals at home this season twice.

EDIT: FT 1-0. I know they did this just to piss me off.

EDIT2: The match reports say is was the worst home game this season, the absentees of OPA were more important than I thought and throughout the game there was no speed, no action, nothing and Santa Claus should have equalized in the end.
