HJK - TPS

Edit: FT 2-0 (1-0)

It did not need much of an effort from HJK to win as they were helped by TPS´s centerback Jaakko Nyberg´s horrendous performance in the first goal and throughout the match with the ball. Neither of the cbs would make my team! TPS under pressure were rather weak, and the weather conditions make controlling the ball difficult for both sides. Shame on you Nyberg! Check it TuTo need a centerback at Kakkonen next season!

HJK are celebrating their title today in front of the home crowd. There are fireworks and food, and no motivation whatsoever for the home side who have also struggled performance-wise even before they secured the title.

The season is finished for them, and personally I do not see that any revenge factor for losing the cup final vs TPS a few weeks is going to help at all.

Hopefully HJK field some players who have played less this season and perhaps also give a chance for some of the reserve team players who need to find a new team for themselves for season 2011, as Kakkonen is definitely too bad quality league for the likes of Tammilehto, Alho, Moren or Ramandingaye.

Took a few TPS bets here happily, 0 @ 2.20 and +0,25 @ 1.85 look good value for a team who are flying high and still have to gain a win for the runner-up spot in the league. They have a EL spot through the Cup and be both relaxed and motivated at the same time!

Edit: No hurry with the odds as they are now moving towards HJK for some reason unknown to me. Yes, they have a best possible line-up starting on paper, and?

Line-ups will also be here soon, but I would not waste a penny for a team who have finished their season already.

Edit: both start with regular line-ups.
