Sharpisgood soccer pick for june 13, 2011

[SHARPISGOOD]

As always picks are to win 1 unit

I typed this in last night and it didn't take so this is my second try....

Norway Soccer Action
The Pick: Lillestrom vs. Odd Grenland Over 3 +101 (5Dimes) risk 1 Unit

Reason: Lillestrom hasn't scored a home goal during its last 2 home games and before that they always netted 1,2,3+ goals in front of their home crowd. On defense Lillestrom when playing any team that has some sort of offense can and generally do score on Lillestrom. Odd Grenland has scored at least 1 goal in 9 straight matches while giving up 1 or more goals in 10 of their last 12 matches. Since Lillestron hasn't scored in their last two home matches, I'm expecting them to come out and play with energy and make a solid effort to score some goals in front of that home crowd. Both these teams in their last matches have scored 3 goals or more so it appears their scoring boots are already on and I'm expecting a 2-1, 3-1, 3-2 type final in this match. At the plus money I laid last night this is worth the risk and if the number lands on 3 it will simply mean a push and we move on to the next potential wager.

Lillestrom is problematic this season, have no idea what has gotten into them they have the players, probably same thing as Rosenborg, but fact is these teams are not themselvs this year. I saw the Rosenborg-Odd Grenland game and thought Odd-Grenland had a nice team with offence strategy so I was mainly reliying on them to score 1 or 2 and Lillestrom score 1 or 2, but now with a red card for Odd-Grenland looks like we have to wait for Lillestrom to put in some goals, still doesn't look like the over 3 will hit unfortunately.

Good game from both keepers thus far, Lillestroms Anthony Ujah finished with a header that the keeper saved via the post and out in stoppage time of the first half.

Hey folks......

Yep not looking good at the half.........expected 1 or 2 before half.......otherwise would never be thinking or expecting the over. Still a 2nd half of play and maybe 1 goal will lead to 2 and 3 and let me off the hook.........if not..........just a loss and I don't get all crazy with one loss as long as more winners are being picked than losers than as is well.......I'm an old hand.......and I know that I can't win them all............although I will scratch my head if it ends 0-0 or 1-0...........forcing me to look back at the drawing board....2nd half under way!

Anything can happen in football! Already 1 goal by the 10 men team, there is a chance.

Final: Lillestrom 1 Odd Grenland 1 for a total of 2 goals and a lost pick....

I was wrong about the outcome of this match and when it was 0-0 at the half I new odds were not good for cashing the ticket. I was disappointed that Lillestrom didn't come out with more offensive energy in front of their home crowd and they were playing 11 vs 10 for 60 minutes this game to only get 1 goal is bad. Odd Grenland even scored a goal a man down. This was a lost pick but I can't be upset since its my first loss since posing on the SBR forum..............and it was at plus money so I dropped only a unit with no juice........Until next time.........

Thank you all for your support and comments
