Shalke-Helsinki

Odds are pretty crap considering Schalke lost the first leg with a near-fully strong squad. Things I have against Schalke is that they have Huntelaar

If Helsinki score just 1 Schalke need to win the match by 3 goals and Schalke's defence has played crap domestically. I don't know anything about Helsinki but I believe the Finnish league is weak so I can understand and maybe join you in this bet

LMAO at the Huntelaar comment

I think it was a bit of a shocker that Shalke lost that leg 2-0. Shalke came back from a 2-0 deficit in Mainz this weekend. Not saying Mainz is a fantastic team lol but that says a little something about the fight that Shalke have in them. As I mentioned, it was just a gut feeling and if I play it, it will only be for small.

I got to believe in HJK, they have a huge opportunity to qualify and if they score one goal away from home Schalkes chances are slim. But Schalke is a good team and if they get one early they can easily qualify, I guess I am a bit biased since I am finnish but I believe in HJK - this will be so important for finnish soccer. I am not so confident I would bet on it though.

Thanks for the thoughts.

How about that, Huntelaar already netted two goals

Let's hope he finally gets his form back like he had with Ajax. Great striker.

Yup. He has a great night so say the least.

Yeah, I was eyeing Helsinki, thanks to Schalke's spotty performance (and despite what the did to Mainz). Holy hell, Huntelaar was on top form today. After these past two matches, maybe Die Königsblauen are back to form.

Damn, I was afraid in the HT to play o5.5 after a lot of thinking....and it ended with 7 goals

Couple of very questionable penalty calls, but congrats to anyone who bet Schalke.
