Highlights HJK vs HIFK FT 2-1

There were glimpses of hope that this season HJK would use their streghts to play succesful and entertaining football but the manager has decided otherwise. Another boring - and unsuccesful - HJK season to follow and no European glory at sight.

May 19th

Yesterday was quiet in terms of matches, but there is a disaster about to be happening at one Veikkausliiga club. Personally I am giving them a chance to sort things out and publish it in their own time, there is no media coverage about it as FIN football media is rather useless. You will be updated.

*********

Today one Kakkonen match and one Women 's league and it is the one I will attend, HJK vs Honka.

********

One piece of highlights from Kakkonen weekend below.

MP vs Gnistan. Have a good day!

Some limits are bigger than others.

May 18th

Yesterday offered only one Kakkonen match Kiffen vs BK-46 and it was not that crowded as most people were watching Finland beating Canada in ice hockey. Less than 100 people witnessed the match at legendary Töölön Pallokenttä, "Bollis". 

Watching TV was probably a wiser choice as this match was very poor in terms of goal chances and overall quality. BK-46 punished from one of their very chances, but as Kiffen's chances were not any better the result can be categorized as "acceptable". Always an under-game, and in fairness a 0-0 would had described it best.

There was a big change in Kiffen lineup before the game as home gk  - and perhaps Kakkonen's best gk - Timo Aaltonen was sidelined and replaced by Pentti Pussinen. This was probably also the reason for the market move towards BK-46. Pussinen was not to blame the outcome though, neither of the keepers had to make any saves.

Match pictures available here.



In the women's league Ilves beat TiPS 3-0. The hc changed from a low - 2.75 to -3 @ 1.6 or so, and this time around the markets were wrong as TiPS gave a good fight.

**********'
Today a quiet day. One U20 Ykkönen match Honka vs TiPS and some Kolmonen matches only, and my personal take of FIN football today is to go PK-35 trainings to see if the rumours of possible coach leaving/sacking are true or not.

*******

Daily updates?!

From now on here will be "daily" updates of what is going on in Finnish Football World, both betting wise and from the football 's perspective.

Roughly the plan is to go through what happened yesterday and what is going on today. Here will be a few links to highlights, what is on offer in the betting world and the key news of the leagues.

Not all of them. Not exactly daily as there will also be days when there is no time for a meaningful update but you will see how it goes.

This is also the place where most of the questions will be answered if the time allows, but I am not here 24/7 and it is unlikely that I would go through any of today's matches even if you ask nicely.

For me this should be both useful and fun. Stress free. Compared to the previous "life" I am not estimating all matches of all leagues anymore. More importantly I am not writing hundreds of detailed previews of all Veikkausliiga and Ykkönen matches as it was very tiring in the end as the schedule is very heavy and usually there is not much new to add since previous round's matches. No I write of the things I like, if I have the time.

Here will be no detailed previews, but when the time allows some confirmed lineups which are behind a password in other services will be published.

No bragging of any succesful suggested winners. Neither no self pity for any possible losers, but possibly a few notes of why markets have reacted the way they did, and why some of the matches ended the way they did.



Welcome to join the ride!

GrIFK vs TPS May 15th

Depressingly poor software and lineup outlay at Veikkaus.fi where this pic is copied from, but at least it shows that TPS are without Hyyrynen, Kinnunen and gk Forsman.

Pinnacle offer the best odds as this Sportmarket PRO window indicates. Value at odds 2.6 or more.

Veikkausliiga lineups May 13th - Ilves vs PK-35

Taken from Veikkaus website, formations usually not correct but the names should be.  Ilves new signing on the bench, but he did not really impress. PK-35 welcome back Kuqi and Portela but there are two new faces in the defense as Äijälä and Manev both are out for unknown reason. They are rather well replaced but once more this is a lineup that has never been used before.

PK-35 away at Ilves on Friday

Edit: Limits have risen significantly and the value is still - or back - there.

******





PK-35 results are the most cheating in Veikkausliiga atm. They have controlled - or even dominated - all recent matches but the results lack behind.

For Friday 's away match at Tampere they welcome back Njazi Kuqi from a 7-match ban and also probably key mf Portela should be able to start after recovering from a long hand injury. If even captain Raimi might return it would have a huge boost.

In my papers PK-35 are the favourites to win this match at around 1.7 dnb and odds should drop towards match day strongly.

Odds easiest to get from Sportmarket, dnb is my fav hc for this.

Veikkaus early odds for May 7-8th round

At Sportmarket Pro.

There have been a few questions regarding early limits. Here is an example for tomorrow PK-35, about 5k for the main line +075 at one click. Of course it is not a "limit", you can take as many clicks you want but the odds may drop.
