Kakkonen Pohjoinen Preview
Preliminary ranking:
PS Kemi
GBK
FC YPA
TP-47
PK-37
KPV
FC Santa Claus
Warkaus JK
AC Kajaani
HauPa
Favorite:
PS Kemi
Currently PS Kemi is looking quite clearly to be the team to beat this year. They're probably not going to be even near as dominant as the last few year's winners have been, but there's quality, experience and talent in every position here. Most of their starting line-up has either experience from Ykkönen or the potential to play there (as is the case with their trio of American players). However, currently they are suffering from a lot of injuries and their relatively good training match results could be mostly attributed to their home indoor field, so don't expect smooth sailing.
Challenger:
GBK
GBK is a natural choice to be the challenger for PS Kemi this year. Inefficient Ebonque is probably the only notable departure, but Tom Melarti should be an adequate replacement at this level. Otherwise the team is intact, so as long as everybody stays fit they should have a very good chance to at least repeat last year's position.
Safe middle:
FC YPA
YPA might have finished fourth last year, but their performance overall has been getting progressively worse, so it's not a surprise that their long-tenured (10 years) coach stepped down last year. Their new coach, as it's usual to this level, is an unknown quantity, and it might as well have been the players whose levels had declined during the past few years, but YPA still has most of that team together that hasn't been far behind teams such as SJK, OPA and OPS. Should be a top-5 team easily since the nucleus of Pejic, Pakola, Heikkilä, Akmethanov, Rönkkö and Alasuutari are still there. Last year's big name signings Mahlakaarto, Pehkonen and Sarajärvi are gone, but as said last year was a big disappointment so those three leaving might just as well clear the air a bit, though the 0-6 loss against HauPa this week was just inexcusable.
TP-47
The superior version of HauPa will very likely challenge for a top-5 position this year too. While there were a couple of tough departures, such as Barsk (though he's still on the contract list), Himanka and Uusitalo, of which the first two were responsible for most of the scoring, they have signed two very good players for this level in Väänänen and Kivilä who came from OPS. As said, most of their team is the same as last year so expect boring and low-scoring games with no fear of relegation. edit: the information from a local newspaper says that they've lost many more players, so I'd drop them around Santa Claus.
Lower middle:
PK-37
PK-37 continued their tradition of having bald head coaches by picking up former AC Oulu player Mika Lähderinne to act as their new player-coach. Nearly everyone (experienced Laukkanen retired, or something) is back from last year's team, and in fact Simo Rönkkö changing his name to Simo Sirviö is probably the most notable player news. The bad news is that KuPS will be having their own reserve team, and without help from KuPS PK-37 would have likely been very near to get relegated last year. But still, In theory PK-37 could finish surpisingly high as Lähderinne & Rönkkö are easily Ykkönen material and if the rest of the team can raise their level a bit they could have a relatively fair chance to end up in the top-5.
KPV
Just a couple of years removed from a promotion playoff to Veikkausliiga, KPV now find themselves back in Kakkonen. Unlike PS Kemi, KPV hasn't signed anyone of note so an instant return to Ykkönen is out of the question. Their player-coach Henri Myntti has returned from an injury and he should be an excellent player at Kakkonen, experienced defender Kalliokoski is also a good player for this level but otherwise there isn't a lot of quality in their squad, though using only local players is something that should be applauded. Training matches have not gone particularly well, though beating GBK in aggregate to win a local cup was quite impressive. At the moment it looks like they are a step above the poorest teams, but relegation is certainly not out of the question if things start to fall apart as it looks like there won't be any foreign help coming due to their financial situation.
FC Santa Claus
Constant bankruptcy rumors have still continued to hover around Santa Claus. Many of the key players have left but strangely enough they have a couple of very good signings in Hänninen (if he's fit to play) and former RoPS man Ville Syväjärvi. Last year's coach Haapaniemi is back in Oulu with his unsuitable tactics, so that could be a good thing. Training matches have went surprisingly well but Santa is probably going to have to fight against relegation this year, especially considering how close they were of it last year with a much better squad. A reserve deal with RoPS might help a bit, but since RoPS is operating with a thin squad that's a big if.
Warkaus JK
Last year everything went wrong for Warkaus after the midsummer as they only managed to squeeze a couple of wins against the bottom sides and then won unmotivated GBK on the last day of the season to ensure their survival. Being the "south" team this year (means also huge amounts of travel), Warkaus is a bit of a unknown, but purely looking at the transfers they've lost their top-scorer Klimov and another regular in Kuronen, but have hoovered a lot of local players from JJK's junior team and last year's Kakkonen teams FC Vaajakoski and ViPa. They also have an agreement with JJK from where they got Eero Markkanen who was very impressive last year in ViPa (9 goals). RoPS reject Marin Gjoca could also be a good player at this level. Just by glancing last year's line-ups one can see that this year's team is going to look completely different, but unless the new players are really good I don't think Warkaus is going to have any chance in promotion battle like Kymppipaikka has predicted, fight against relegation is looking like a much more realistic outcome as there probably won't be any punching bags this year unless AC Kajaani or HauPa flop badly.
Relegation candidates:
AC Kajaani
As you would expect from a team with such a name, AC Kajaani's success will mostly depend on how their foreigners (probably 7 out of 11 in the starting line-up) play. Rest of the players are fringe youth players, unless Kajaani has suddenly become a hotbed for talent, and equally poor older players, who are probably Kolmonen quality too as some of them are familiar from KajHa's Kakkonen years. For what I've gathered AC Kajaani actually has some financial stability behind them and they already have visions of playing in Ykkönen in a couple of years, so their visit might be a bit longer than what it has usually been with Kajaani teams. However, at the moment I'd rate them low middle table at best until there's some indication on how good their foreigners actually are on this level.
HauPa
Magical head coach Paananen has left and defensive leader Räisänen is now playing in OPS. Overall approximately half of their starting line-up is gone and the replacements are mostly their own youth players and Oulu-based talents, who were not good enough to get a contract with upper-level teams. Goalscoring is going to be a huge pain for them again and with Keskinen no longer in goal (unless he's signed) and most of the defense gone it's looking pretty bad there too. At the moment HauPa is the relegation candidate number one unless they can overachieve like they did last year. That would probably involve having Rikkinen, Lukkari, Hanhela and other young talents to fully blossom, and rookie trainer Isokangas maturing into a good coach.
Preliminary total ideas:
Leaning to over:
AC Kajaani (15-3, 6.05 in Kolmonen), it's either a Korsholm-like performance or the foreigners are actually good, which means goals as most of them are either in midfield or forward positions. In any case, unless their Ukrainian goalkeeper is really good, their defense looks very suspect.
Warkaus JK (2011: o/u 2.5 19-7, goal average 3.50), particularly after their coaching change in the start of September Warkaus had some wild-scoring matches. However, lot of turnaround in the team so I'm not totally confident that they'll continue with that way.
FC Santa Claus (18-8, 3.50), defense will be almost completely new, but both top scorers return. New coach is always a questionmark, so safest way would be to wait for a few rounds.
Middle:
FC YPA (16-10, 2.92), last season was surprisingly boring for the traditionally high-scoring side, but I'd expect them to return to their old ways.
PS Kemi (14-10, 2.83 in Ykkönen), defense should be solid with two experienced goalkeepers and a defense line of Juvonen, Hyvärinen and the likes. Spivack, Stevens, Eissele, Torvikoski, Siekkinen and co are good for this level, but I'm doubtful that they will be able to be that explosive to consider PS Kemi as a clear over team.
GBK (15-11, 3.31), almost nothing has changed from last year so middle of pack looks likely in terms of goals.
Slightly under:
PK-37 (16-10, 3.31), the addition of Lähderinne should help their defense and as there will not be players like Kaivonurmi coming from KuPS it's looking like PK-37 might be a bit lower scoring this year.
KPV (12-12, 3.21 in Ykkönen), Myntti will probably help in the striking department but other than that there doesn't seem to be any dangerous attacking threats in the team. Defensively they look pretty average too.
Likely under:
TP-47 (11-15, 2.92), almost the same team as last year, so another low-scoring year is an easy prediction to make.
HauPa (12-14, 2.62), apart from Makowski there's no one to score goals, defense will likely be poorer than last year so away games especially could get ugly. However, unless a complete drop-off occurs I'd expect them to be a quite under-like.

PS Kemi - KPV -1,25 1 55% 1,93 4/10 Sbobet
PS Kemi - KPV 72 16 12
o/u 2.5: 64 36
PS Kemi's injury crisis has been averted and they'll likely miss only two players. KPV hasn't bothered to put anything up, but I assume they don't have any notable players out. Junkohalli will probably give an extra home advantage for PS Kemi, but the bookies aren't out of the loop when it comes to class differences between these two, so any value bets look unlikely.
AC Kajaani - Warkaus JK 40 21 39
o/u 2.5 72 28
To be honest, there's not much information from which you can draw an accurate estimation on AC Kajaani. They did play two games against Kakkonen sides where they beat an extremely tired HauPa team 5 - 1 in a tournament game and more recently a month ago when they got pounded 0-8 by GBK, though they were missing a lot of players on that match. However, it's hard to disagree with eurobookies' guess at 41 23 36, but I'll be taking a close look on the over as I believe these two have a big potential to be quite high-scoring this season.
GBK - FC YPA 55 20 25
o/u 2.5: 65 35
Eurobookie odds offer some value for YPA, but their training matches don't exactly offer any reinforcement. The just recently concluded futsal season and poor training conditions might have something to do with that, but as GBK hasn't been that impressive either during the winter and due to overall class difference not being that huge, a +1 handicap might be worth a try.
PK-37 - FC Santa Claus 46 21 33
o/u 2.5: 65 35
Normally PK-37 with odds around 2,00 might have had some idea, but this match will be played on semi-neutral field in Kuopio and PK-37 will also miss their best player in Rönkkö-Sirviö. No previews on either side, so a bit on the dark with team news, but if eurobookie odds are anything to come by then neither total nor handicap will offer anything interesting.

Round 2 - one game tonight. Lahti vs Honka

17.4.2012
Veikkausliiga odds round 2 / 2012
Only moderate market moves. Totals have gone towards "under" because of early season, bad pitches and this time around all matches are on natural grass.
Long wait is over - Kakkonen 2012 will kick-off on Wednesday!
Updated tables and fixtures can be found at soccerway but in short the biggest changes since 2011. Changes are inevitable here, the system, the clubs, everything is subject to change.
2011 it was 3 groups of 14, 2012 will be 4 groups of 10. Geographically divided if possible. In the North the distances are still long to cover.
2011 one club - SJK - won promotion. 2012 there will be 2, the 4 group winners will be play-offs. Unless the system changes of course.
2012 probably bottom 2 in each group will be relegated, 2011 it was different and but can not explain it in more detail.
2012 there are several clubs who did not win the promotion but got there accidentally by cabinet decisions; Jämsänkosken Ilves, Härmä from Hämeenlinna and PK-35/VJS might not belong there. Or maybe they do?
2012 these clubs work as academies or reserves to higher level clubs:
Klubi04 --> HJK
Pallohonka - > Honka
Åbo IFK ->TPS
PK-35/VJS --> PK-35. Guess you got it yourself.
Kraft co-operate with VPS.
May the most profitable league in the world begin!
Opening games Klubi04 vs SalPa & EIF vs Pallohonka April 18th.
2011 it was 3 groups of 14, 2012 will be 4 groups of 10. Geographically divided if possible. In the North the distances are still long to cover.

2012 there are several clubs who did not win the promotion but got there accidentally by cabinet decisions; Jämsänkosken Ilves, Härmä from Hämeenlinna and PK-35/VJS might not belong there. Or maybe they do?
2012 these clubs work as academies or reserves to higher level clubs:
Klubi04 --> HJK
Pallohonka - > Honka
Åbo IFK ->TPS
PK-35/VJS --> PK-35. Guess you got it yourself.
Kraft co-operate with VPS.
May the most profitable league in the world begin!
Opening games Klubi04 vs SalPa & EIF vs Pallohonka April 18th.
Finnish Cup 7th round and quarter-finals
In my understanding most games are on 25th of April, not 27th, but between Veikkausliiga rounds 3 and 4 anyway.
Newsletter delivery delays
Got this from the service provider, but if the problems do not get solved let us forget the Newsletter and I will go back to old-fashioned email. Please keep me updated if there are problems!
"Ah sorry to hear about issues with delay of delivery! It's worth noting that sometimes mail servers may delay the delivery of bulk email to inboxes for up to 24 hours. So if you're seeing these delays isolated to particular email domains, this could be the cause of the issue.
Ultimately this is a mechanism in place on the receiving servers, so it's not something we're easily able to control on our end. However, we do have many different IP sending addresses that we cycle through to try and avoid the bulk emailing issues described above. These particular delays you're experiencing may very well be temporary in that at the time of send there was a high volume of requests being received by that receiving email server, so we'd recommend keeping an eye on it in the case that it should clear up on its own.
If you have any further questions or are concerned about any repeated delays you're experiencing, feel free to write us back with the name of a few affected campaigns, as well as any subscribers and e-mail domains in particular you're seeing the delayed delivery on"
