Nice picks Metanoia, thank you for the Nybergsund game pick Mr. Kitty

[thespeculator]

Sure does! Freddy and Freddy are showing their skills yet again.

Im not going to have time to update my record tonight. Nybergsund won 3-1 and Öster lead 2-0 at HT. I will be back on thursday, until then good luck everyone.

thanks for the pick brother, i have become a big fan of the nordic leagues, it is much more interesting than watching baseball, I love the wide open style and the teams try to score not just protect a 1-0 lead

Viking FK - SK Brann, SK Brann @ 2.90 (1.5x)

Game from Tippeligaen in Norway. Viking plays a 4-3-3 formation, against Haugesund they played very low which frustrated FKH. Despite the early goal against, Viking did not give up, in fact, they created three great chances in the first half. Those three chances came from Berisha, Nevland and Sæternes. Second half started much like the first, FHK make it 2-0 but now Viking looks finished. They get one more great chance from Nevland/Berisha in stoppage time but it hits the crossbar from a good position. Viking created more chances then FHK but its clear they lack confidence and faith in front of goal.
The club is in a crisis, it has not won since April 2 and is last in the Tippeligaen. In addition, the team is plauged by injuries and suspentions at the moment. Now, both Berisha (10 games, 2 goals) and Nevland (10 games, 2 goals) who stood for the majority of chances against FHK are suspended. Since before they missed, midfielder Danielsen (9 games), midfielder Sokolowski (4 games, 1 goal), midfielder Knarvik (6 games), striker Ingelsten and midfielder Bjarnason (9 games) are away on International duty. Midfield is noticeably accosted by injuries, this led to Nevland went down and played there last game. All players who has scored this season is out right now.

Brann did not play on Monday, their match was on Friday so they've got a couple of days extra rest. They then took on Sogndal at home, which ended in a 2-0 win. Impressive win because the team lacked many influential players. Captain Mjelde was injured, Austin plays in the Gold Cup for Jamaica, benchplayers Mezquida and Juninho where also injured and topscorer Ojo was suspended. Both Mjelde and Mezquida looks fit enough to play tomorrow and Ojo will of course be back. Even without these players Brann created four chances in the first half against Sogndal, including hitting the post at the end of the half. After the break Sogndal came out better but never created them really crystal clear chances, instead Brann could score both 1-0 and 2-0 and thus the win was assured.

Viking comes from a loss and more players missing while Brann comes from a win and get back influential players. If we compare which teams they´ve met thus far, Viking have losses to Vålerenga and Strömsgodset at home and draw to Odd and Molde. Brann have wins over Lilleström, Vålerenga, draw against Haugesund and losses to Tromsö and Strömsgodset, all on the road. Viking is the weakest team Brann have met thus far, but Viking will be desperate.

I can´t understand why Brann isnt favorites here? 2.90 must be value. Im also tempted to try the under @ 2.00. Any thoughts?

This game is tomorrow 16/6

What about Finland? Today.

Good luck on your play!

Brann DNB is also nice around 2.00!

HJK Helsingfors - RoPS, HJK -2 @ 1.875 (1x)

Game from Veikkausliiga in Finland. This should be an easy home victory for HJK. They are simply a couple of classes better then the rest of the teams in Veikkausliiga. Not much to say, they have quality even on the bench which is unusual in this league.
RoPS where involved in some fixed games, and decided to fire a couple of players a month before the league started. They recruited some youngsters from the region. I thought they where toast, especially since they are newcomers but so far they have played better then ppl thought.

If HJK is motivated enough, they can smash any team, we saw that last home game when they won 6-2 against third placed JJK. In 2009, RoPS visited and got their asses handed to them 4-0. Expect something similar today.

[FindTheLock]

anybody find a link to this game? I can't find one yet.

[sfi50]

thanks camel

[escou]

hard to find links on finnish games as well as swedish games, unfortunately.

[FindTheLock]

yeah i took the over and so far no goals. Let's hope for a big cluster soon.

[escou]

Well that is why I tend to take overs almost only in-play cuz you get better value and usually you get the over 2 at some point in the first half which is more likely to hit. GL with your play

[FindTheLock]

thanks it looks like I will need it lol

[letsgo]

3-0!

[FindTheLock]

Yes. I consider myself very fortunate to win this bet. O2.5 -200 sweating all the way till the 70th minute.

kitty what do you think of this parlay? Strømsgodset v Molde FK O2.5 parlayed with brann win or draw double chance. It pays +107

[Blue_Chips]

Good luck on these!!!

[Mr.Kitty]

kitty what do you think of this parlay? Strømsgodset v Molde FK O2.5 parlayed with brann win or draw double chance. It pays +107

Godset/Molde over should be money and I obviously like Brann´s chances today, good payout and a good chance of winning IMO . Viking will be desperate today so you cant count them out completely, not even their own supporters believe in them, 72% think Brann will win . I am playing the value in that game, Viking can win but it would take a lot with their situation.

Good luck

[FindTheLock]

thank you for your opinion. I am just learning about these teams so I am a rookie as far as this league is concerned.
