It is summer again - and the match fixers are back in town!


Well not yet in Finland, but it is just a matter of time when something will be offered to someone somewhere.

This happened in Allsvenskan yesterday, a match between IFG Göteborg and AIK got cancelled because of manipulation efforts.

The threat in my understanding was towards AIK keeper.

Ykkönen lineups 17.5


OPS vs AC Oulu

OPS naturally giving another fuck to guidelines when lineups should be out in the open.



GrIFK vs TPS





Gnistan vs Haka

Local 1x2-odds



Confirmed lineups and market moves, charts copied a bit after lineups been out.

KuPS vs HIFK



KuPS practically unchanged all season, and been strong from the start. HIFK miss among other Sihvola who scored a hat trick a few rounds back. Home win.

Inter vs VPS





VPS been forced to play with very narrow squad from the start, and been highly dependant on Morrissey and some luck. Inter strong with several options on the bench. Inter +50%


MIFK vs Kemi




MIFK squad is super thin, but the worst part is that they never got top striker Orgill replaced, and his successor Lucky also today deservedly on the bench.  Kemi has been in relegation form from the start along with JJK and very little here to expect for them, but the opening line -1 seems to high for MIFK as they have the tendency to close down shop in case they score first.




RoPS vs Lahti





RoPS missing several starters (Okkonen, Taylor, Muinonen) from the already young and weakish squad, Lahti no absentees. Away win.



SJK vs JJK 

A late kick-off, no lineups.

SJK ahc collapsed even if they have failed the whole season... and yes, I blame the manager Boström. MLS striker Abang fired.








11.5.2017

Haka vs EIF lineups







Markets - EIF +0.50 at Sportmarket as example







Lineups HJK vs Ilves


A bit of rotation at HJK, Ilves a strong one too.



Market moves: (HJK -1.25 as an example) - source for graph is Sportmarket PRO.





Climate change? Yes, this has been the coldest Spring in 60 years and the match might look again tonight the same than how it was vs Inter last time at home:
