Veikkausliiga Finland round 4

There will be more thorough previews later, I am only publishing the games and early predictions now. If you can not wait there is already Nordic Football News preview available.


6.5. HJK - IFK Mariehamn highlights

The visitors are hugely underrated. MIFK -1.25 € 2.05 sbobet

Edit: it is only 1.82 anymore, still value. Straight win has dropped from 9 > 7.5,--> 7.0 also still some value.--> 1.74 & 6.2 now.. should be about right.

FT Edit: 2-0 after two stupid mistakes in defence. Even game according to reports and match statistics.


7.5. FC Honka - MYPA
Game will be played on artificial pitch which helps Honka a lot. Home win and possibly over 2.5. Limit for home win 1.85

Edit: ft 0-0. My grandma would have saved all the "shots" in this game. MyPa is boring and lousy.

7.5. JJK - Haka

First Veikkausliiga game in Jyväskylä ever! I am expecting a lot of passion and very little skill. No bet. Haka is a favourite because there is a lot more class, I am not sure if there is enough of it to justify a bet for away win though. Under 2.5 looks more likely.

Edit : ft 0-0. JJK was slighly less bad.


7.5. FF Jaro - KuPS

First home game for Jaro after being away at TPS, Inter and TamU! Home win, with a -1 handicap. Jaro belongs still to the upper half of the table, KuPs is bottom-3 and will be for the whole season.

Edit : ft 1-1. Shameful really for the hosts and a couple of key players picked up an injury too. Bad news for Pietarsaari.


7.5.FC Lahti - VPS

Poor VPS had been waiting for a defender from Albania to solve all their problems on and off the pitch. He is not coming, and that will tell you the depth of VPS misery. Home win & a crap game.

Edit : ft can you guess? 0-0. Attackminded new VPS has not yet convinced me.


7.5. RoPS - FC Inter

The most international of all Veikkausliiga teams welcomes the champions to Lapland.
I am not sure what to expect. Anything, I guess. African rhytms and reindeer at least.

Edit : ft 0-2. RoPs missed not one but two penalties. I can there is a mirror to be watched at Rovaniemi.


8.5. TamU - TPS

Two of the biggest meet and both are already in crisis. No goals, no fun. No bets yet. TV-game on friday.

Edit : ft 0-1. 3 points with a poor game, all of those are earned by TPS goalie Jukka Lehtovaara. Crisis continue at both camps.
