How to follow Veikkausliiga.Com live text commentary

Hi people,

several questions regarding translations and functionality recently as the League starts properly today. The Site itself is very slow, unreliable and user-hostile but it is better than nothing. You better learn to navigate there yourself starting with the Sonera Tulospalvelu - page and using the arrows and matches as links, but below most common words translated you might want to know:

Veikkausliiga round one

One match played on Monday, MyPa - MIFK 0-2. The rest of the matches on Friday. Preview with a look at the odds and market moves will be sent to customers on Thursday by 12.00 CET

One match only on Wednesday

At Kakkonen B SalPa - LoPa. Will drive there to study the teams of this vintage, both have had their strong seasons at Kakkonen and LoPa have been the among the biggest promotion candidates for years, this season  the situation is changed and they are in relegation battle. No asian odds yet but these should give you the clue:

Edit: opened at -1.25 at SBO and odds of LoPa on a slow drop at the moment.Are SalPa worth 70 % or not, that is the question in search of value in Asian Handicap Betting tonight.

If you have no idea what Kakkonen is about here is a piece of Kakkonen as a league I wrote for season 2010, many teams have changed but the basics are the same.

Kakkonen tonight; Gnistan - Atlantis

Edit: It was Veikkaus in the end with the better estimation in this. There were a few new players at Atlantis and until the first goal they were even and perhaps even getting the control, but a stupid conceded penalty changed the score, and in the end the nature of the game. FT 4-0 (1-0)

A big difference in opinion between the local bookie Veikkaus who offer 1.75 for Gnistan and the Asian market. Someone is wrong in the internet? Atlantis getting a lot of attention.

I probably know the reason for this but it is still a rumour and can hardly be confirmed before seeing final line-ups.

Sbobet odds for Ykkönen Tuesday

2 matches, opened early!

Edit 1-1 at Hämeenlinna, 3-0 at Lahti.

Hämeenlinna-JIPPO lineups:

Lahti - Espoo:

Veikkausliiga 2011 kick-off today

Edit: MIFK started with the season with style! Physically stronger, more skilful with the ball and more united as a team and there was really no question of the winner after some 10 minutes of play. FT 0-2 (0-2)

Highlights here:

One match to start the season with, will be televised and shown as a stream by the local bookie to registered users.

MyPa - IFK Mariehamn. Odds perhaps moving towards MyPa a bit, but nothing major going on and a lot of questionmarks in the air. The Free Edition today will discuss the match shortly, but as of today the paying customers are the only ones receicing match previews, analysis, market move estimations and late updates.

May Day Extra for Kakkonen C; YPA - VIFK CET 14.00

This was sent earlier to Newsletter readers today. Odds have unfortunately at least temporarily dropped below suggested level. Analysis by Kakkonen C Northern correspondent.



FC YPA - VIFK 53 20 27 o/u 2.5: 67 33

FC YPA is looking like the second-best team in group C at the moment. They retain most of their key-players and only lost a couple of role players. Their captain Saarela might not play due to an injury, but he will not be missed that much because YPA adds Mahlakaarto (17 goals two seasons ago in Kakkonen), Sarajärvi (from FF Jaro) and Pehkonen (from AC Oulu) to their squad. VIFK lost about a two or three important players in the off-season, but there shouldn't be any big drop-off. It is also interesting to see how the new coach affects their play, at least the training season looked quite promising. All in all, I see YPA being one step above VIFK, so the 1,96 offered is worth a small bet. I've played the over too (but be warned, that my totals were -30 units or so, and sides +20 last year) as YPA's striking force should be even more deadly this season, and overall they're almost always the most reliable team when it comes to producing high-scoring games. However, it's true that VIFK has traditionally been a very good defensive side, but the matches between these sides have usually had at least three goals, just like earlier this month. 

FC YPA - VIFK O3.0 58% 1,86 4/10 Sbobet
FC YPA - VIFK 1 53% 1,96 1/10 Sbobet

Edit: FT 0-1. Odds dropped so much that the value was on VIFK before kick-off.
