    Veikkausliiga highlights April 9th - 5 matches





    Quick notes:

    Deserved results. Kemi were forced to play in Rovaniemi. Very poor perfomances from KuPS and PK-35, who also suffered from the physical and aggressive play the referee allowed HIFK to perform. A long suspension awaits PK-35 Njazi Kuqi.

    Lineups HJK vs VPS


    As always with these lineup pics from Veikkaus the players may be out of formation, but they should be the right players and you can move them yourself. Main handicap line moved from -1.5 to -1.25, HJK exactly the same they were last week vs a better club MIFK. Looking at the starting lineups the move is not really understandable but soon we now better. Correct line -1.5 in my papers.

    Are the KuPS Nigerian players really big stars?

    "
    Kuopion Palloseuran nigerialaistähdet Paul Onobi ja Gbolahan Salami ovat saavuttaneet arvokkaita tunnustuksia (Nigerian Pitch Awards 2016). Hyökkääjä Salami (yläkuvassa) saavutti Nigerian liigan maalikuninkuuden 2015 ja hänelle myönnettiin Rasheed Yekini Award-palkinto. Salami valittiin myös Nigerian liigan arvokkaimmaksi pelaajaksi (Most Valuable Player in the NPFL). Salamia koskevat kansainväliset pelilupa-asiat ovat järjestyksessä ja hän saa pelata tällä Veikkausliigakaudella KuPS:n riveissä.
    "

    The citation from KuPS website and a quick google search confirms it to be true. Onobi was chosen Nigerian midfielder of the year, Salami won the biggest prizes of the Nigerian league.

    The first matches of Salami have not yet fully convinced, but for sure the play is different here than in Nigeria so perhaps they settle. Rather sooner than later as KuPS rely heavily on them to success.

    "Highlights" from cup match Haka vs Ilves FT 0-0.

    Not the best of performances from either side, Ilves even rotated quite a bit. And lost in the end.
