FIN U21 vs Moldova

A meaningless match, FIN have 8 debutants. Alho as a defender is the only interesting topic here as he is a very talented winger at HJK. Oh well, I am expecting Anyamele to attract, and there is Gotte too! Not at all uninteresting affair in the end.

If I had to choose now I would go for Lahti, MIFK, MyPa and Jaro but there is no need to rush. Or there might be with MIFK as the markets have not yet reacted to the fact that Honka will miss 2 of their best players Mehmet Hetemaj and Lum Rexhepi due international call-up to represent Kosovo vs Turkey. Or will they, they might have time to recover and return?

Hetemaj is the top player of the league at the moment. (Iltalehti/ Jussi Eskola)

The paid service for 2014 season will start on May 22nd. Check prices and description here.

Kakkonen 18.5

OPS - OLS 48 21 31
o/u 2.5: 68 32

The first look at the completely new OPS team against TP-47 was half ruined by a early second half red card. OPS' in full strength was pretty good and they weren't in too much trouble with TP-47, while on the other hand OLS was lucky to hold TP-47 to a 1-1 draw. It's of course silly to look at just one match but it's probably a good example of the expected class difference between these two. OPS should easily be able to challenge for a top-5 spot while OLS should hover around lower middle table and possibly relegation battle unless a lot of things go right. For me, the -0,5 line is impossible to find value if seeking possible OPS bets as it almost looks like there's a home advantage factored in into those odds which is naturally not the case today. What OLS has shown at their home games does not inspire any confidence so they're not an interesting choice either, but if forced to choose OLS +0,5 2,00 at Sbobet would be my selection. The policy of putting up a 3.25 line for every match seems to continue in Asian bookies, no strong ideas on the total so I'd rather skip that prematch.

Lineups look to be in OPS' favor, live tweets and possible selections will be at this account.

Heavy market moves vs HJK today

from -1.5@ 1.82 to -1 @ 2.03. A drop/rise by two handicaps and a good example of how varied opinions there are about this game.

There are well-respected professionals out there who see this differently, the lowest estimate for HJK has been 55, the highest around 70%. And this is the team everyone in the country should know best!

A few key notes:

• HJK managerial change a few weeks back. Ever since HJK have not conceded a goal, but they have also been somewhat lucky
• HJK miss today Baah, Tainio and Konan. Savage starts from the bench.
• MyPa have been the surprise package so far - but their results lie quite a lot and they should be somewhere in mid-table
• MyPa manager is the ex-HJK legend Antti Muurinen
• MyPa miss Pinho and Dema, starting with both Salmikivi and Sihvola upfront might not work.

Interesting match, available for 8€ at HJK-TV.
