Djurgården is not the only club who have turned their sight across the Gulf, there are 18 players from their Eastern neighbour, and more will follow. FC Honka is the club that has sold most players, the number is at the moment 5.

Two club friendlies this afternoon
Klubi04 vs Viikingit at 16.00 CET. Viikingit could be value at -0,5 @ 1.96, but also could be not. They will probably use some 20 players in this match, and the halves are most likely not very identical.
Edit2: HJK will travel to Seinäjoki tournament with a big squad this weekend, and it should be bad news for their reserves Klubi04. Took Viikingit after all, there should be a way more depth in the squad.
Edit4: Ft 0-2. Klubi fielded mostly u19 team players, but they did actually very well.
Another prospect is Haka vs Nomme Kalju at 13.30 CET. Match is played outdoors at -10 C, which itself would indicate to a low-scoring game, unfortunately at the moment I do not know if the home team fields the best 11 or the worst eleven, and thus it is impossible to say anything about the correct handicap.
For the best team -1.5 hc is almost nothing against their mediocre visitors, but with the reserves it is way too much. At Lahti Cup Haka reserves were lucky to win Viljandi Tulevik - a same quality Estonian team - 2-1.
I have an agent at the pitch, perhaps I get some valuable information for this on time.
Edit1: 1-0 after first minute. Estonians once again in trouble. No bet, though Kalju +2 @ 2.2 looks a bit tempting.
Edit3: 1-1 looks like a full-time score. Speaks volumes about Haka.
Klubi - Viikingit I will go and study myself.

These words look a bit awkward together, don´t they? Actually it is a topic I would like to discuss more, but read this article about it for starters.
Finland League Cup 12-14th Feb 2010
If the asian bookies are following suit and copy their odds from their European counterparts for this competitition this weekend they are up a to surprise and a huge mis-pricing.
Naturally I can not reveal it here yet, but to be honest I am anxiosly waiting for the asian odds for the weekend matches.
Edit1: Early line for TPS + 0,25 @ 1.78 & Inter -0,25 @ 2.13 is set right. No need for any betting action.

Rest of the week 10th Feb 2010 onwards
It is hard to keep track of the matches as there is no real schedule for anything. This week there is yet more action in all fronts, and despite the pile of one meter of snow outside my doorstep I do believe that the summer also comes and more importantly, the seasons will start!
Today I am off to see another friendly international at Eerikkilä when Finland U17 meet Estonia. It is actually in offer at the betting market as well, but I like to keep my eye on the possible future talent and that is far more important than placing a low-limit bet. Traditionally Finland wins this match by one or two goals, but in my understanding there are some replacements made for today´s game.
EDIT : FT 3-0 with two late goals. I would love to see Estonian pair Richard Leht & Hannes Anier in a proper team some day. Jusu Karvonen showed his footballing brain in the second half.
Thursday´s friendly is Klubi04 vs Viikingit at Tali indoor arena 16.00 CET, neither of the teams is ready yet, but in the middle of rough training session, and there will be some tired feet.
Edit: FT 0-2. Boys played well against men.
Friday PK-35 welcome KooTeePee to Myyrmäki indoor arena, PK have had a lot of injury problems but it is good to see what Kotka can do. They might be one of the promotion candidates this season.
Edit: FT 1-0. No finesses offered.
On Saturday Viikingit play again, this time they host Estonian newly promoted club Lootus Kohtlajärve. Atlantis meet TPV from Tampere, and the league cup also goes on with the following matches which will probably be discussed more in detail later.
At Seinäjoki there are AIK, Örebro, HJK and Tampere United who will play a couple of friendlies. An interesting occasion, but my schedule does not allow me to travel, and they play only 1 or 2 matches a day.

Honka - HJK League Cup 9th Feb 2010
A top clash and a derby. Last season´s 1st and 2nd in the league, not unchanged sides but pretty much on the same level as where they were last season. Honka took a routine 2-1 win of TPS in the first round, HJK outplayed IFK Mariehamn by 2-0.
Both matches in the league were drawn, and there is every possibility for the same on Tuesday.
Asian limits;
Honka 0 @ 1.94
HJK 0 @ 2.06
Honka -0,25 @ 2.31
HJK + 0,25 @1.76
Slightly underish looking, not interesting bettingwise as the prices are set right, unless there are some news or huge price changes.
Edit: Well the prices have changed, Honka now 1.77 and HJK at 2.14, most probably because of alleged serious doubts for several HJK players. My own doubt is that all those key players will play, and at the moment HJK 0 would be value. Still not too interested, less than 5 % value and if Bah or Sorsa or Medo really are out that would be no value at all. Live bet material perhaps, need to take laptop to the match.
FT 3-3. Entertaining match where Johannes Westö did replace Sorsa very well from the HJK side. Even encounter, I was expecting a draw with less goals to be honest.

Finland League Cup 6.2.2010 asian handicap price limits
No time or motivation for previews, last night Inter won MyPa 1-0 in a rather uneventful match at Turku. There are a lot of mixed opinions about Jaro - Haka and I expect the odds moving back and forth during the day. Also price of JJK has risen to my big surprise today.

League Cup is a semi-meaninful competition and the limits above are for guidance only. The clubs are still testing players, there are injuries, difficult pitch or indoor conditions and the estimations are not as accurate as they will be while the season has started. I recommend at least a value of 10 % if you decide to take a bet using these estimations to minimize the risk of analysis.
Edit: FT results. HJK - MIFK 2-0, a good performance by HJK. JJK - VPS 3-0 easy home win as expected and Jaro - Haka 2-0. Haka is also probably and hopefully as overrated as it was last season. Very poor match by Haka.
