Reasoning	OB are meeting up with Helsingborg in their first Royal League match in 2007. From 2006 to 2007, OB have lost Grahn and gotten in Helveg, Troest and a new striker, who's beaten Rakic to become their main striker. Helsingborg have lost Larsson, Shelton and Granqvist over the winter, who are three of their most profilic players. Generally I think OB have been really strong this autumn, and even though they've lost Grahn, they still have Mads Timm who's a great replacement, who's also scored loads in the preseason. I don't know if they will be playing Helveg or Troest, but they're both strong defenders who'll add width to the OB back line. I do not know that much about Helsingborg, but I imagine they'll be in shambles after losing 3 of their best men. Quote Rurfors: "Even if attacker Gustaf Andersson will be fit for the game, he won’t make a difference. Luton Shelton and Henrik Larsson are so missed. With Rönningberg out, he doesn’t has alternatives for central defence too. And on the midfield, alternatives are very few. Put to this that Baxter sees Royal League only as a part of the pre-season training and that Helsingborg already are qualified for next round. I’m afraid I can’t see anything pointing for Helsingborg." My rating of this game is 55-25-20 giving a betvalue of 115.50 % on OB-victory.
