Finland league cup review 23-24th March

Lahti - HJK 4-1. 

A deserved home win in a fast encounter for the more motivated team against the favourites who were resting some key players. Asian line Lahti + 0,75

KuPS - JJK 2-1
Finally KuPS got a result! JJK were resting some 3-5 players who would normally start. A lot of goal chances for KuPS, but they needed Miikka ilo to convert them into goals in Venäläinen´s absence."Better team won", said JJK coach Kari Martonen, " we lost the battle in the midfield." Asian line KuPS -0,25 pretty much correct.

Inter Turku - Honka 0-0.

Two key moments in the game, red card for Inter after 5 minutes, and Honka top scorer and key man  Hermanni Vuorinen not playing but watching the match and eating sausages defined the game, in which Honka was naturally closer to score. I took Inter  0,25 and it looked like a good bet, for all the first five minutes. Any scouts looking for a striker to sign also drew a blank as both possible targets were sidelined - one might say that it was exactly for that purpose ;)

TamU - AC Oulu 0-3
My biggest bet of the day with full confidence, and it left no room for explanations. TamU are in their yearly crisis now and Oulu continue with a good run after another very positive result. Tough times for TamU supporters - and anyone trying to figure out their performances. The quality is obviously there, but where is self-confidence, will and trust? Is Tuomas Haapala any help at all or a burden too heavy to carry? Very bad signing indeed. Ashamed to say, I took TamU -1.

On Saturday KuPS - TamU, and a win is needed for the visitors if they want to qualify. Can not see myself backing them but it is always down to the price and value. More about this on Saturday morning.

Enjoy your day.
