First thoughts would be to lay RoPS as they have no dismissed many of their team for break as their title challenge is over and youth players can be used. They had a chance of getting to the top in theory but now from last round shock defeat it is over this year. I will keep an eye for their situation ahead of these last few matches...

I hope no this table is edited in-line with 2006 rules - many online resources are wrong.(Oulu are 2nd right now btw)

[Galea78]

Teams in black play for nothing and most will rotate squads to try younger players etc Oulu are in must win situations as they rely on the top 2 dropping points or they must spend another season in Ykkönen.

TP-47 are holding onto a miracle but can do it should Oulu fail to obtain more than 3 points in 3 games Atlantis less than 2. It's a slim chance of cource but they will be watching games like today with interest.

Any of the top 3 can win automatic promotion so expect no casual games from these teams whilst other teams in the league will have much less motivation. 2nd place is a play off with 2nd last in Veikkausliiga.*Edit thanks to the bankrupt Allianssi two teams from this league are automatic and not 1 - no play off - sorry for not checking this, 2006 rules have been changed!

**As so much changed in 2006 for various reasons the league is much different, the Kakkonen is now only 3 leagues (A/B/C) and 3 teams have already been promoted - only 2 will go down to return the balance to the Ykkönen whilst 2 will go up to the top flight with only 1 dropping down.

I hope i have explaineds this correctly - i do not often follow the lower leagues so closely and my head hurts ensuring i have all the details!

The bottom is also still important with 2 relegation places up for grabs

[Galea78]

Klubi 04 v AC Oulu
Oulu are surely the stronger side and the higher motivated but this will be a tough game never the less as Klubi are not likely to pass a game like RoPS did. Small stakes on the away win Oulu@1.98 3/10

[godmato]

How are the promotion thing here in this league? The first team is surely going to be promoted, but the second and third?

Thanx and GL1

[Djordje]

read post #4 in this thread for that information

[godmato]

My bad Djordje ( your name sounds like you're from Romania )
Then Klubi 04 v AC Oulu should be great value here. Lack of motivation from Klubi while AC Oulu is 6-3-2 and 24 - 13 away. Any news regarding suspended players or injured for this game?

Hi my info was a little confused in post 4 - normally it is 1 up and 1 play off but 2006 will see two automatic promotions from 4 teams in with a chance.

I have backed Oulu tonight but only small as Klubi are not a poor side, tough trip to Helsinki. each player here players for transfer to either HJK or another not promotion.

Teams look solid on both sides, Inutile is the Klubi danger man for today IMO, stronger players at Oulu though with Titi, Rafinha, Pejiè and co

hard came - hopefully Oulu can keep strong form and win but very tough trip hence small stakes.

So far so good, if you find a live bet might be worth the lay if the price is ok...safe than sorry!

[godmato]

No! i think i'm ok now that is 0-2

[Galea78]

Pejiè is very good forward - I resisted also but i do not like to let people down, the lay has saved me many times...

[Galea78]

Valeri Minkenen (81) scores for Klubi-04 to make for a tense end but brings in a nice over for anybody ont hat market..

[godmato]

Agree with you Galea but my bet was on AH 0. 1.40 is good i think . If they score the second then i will recover my money.

Viikingit v FC Hämeenlinna and
VIFK v Atlantis FC
will be much easier to bet on if Oulu will win this one, don't you think?

FT 1-2

and yes I agree, VIFK are not so bad but Atlantis should win that, Viikingit will have little trouble with Hämeenlinna

For tomorrow Viikingit @1.46 5/10 and >2.5 2/10, Atlantis 5/10

[Galea78]

I have only just fully read the rules for relegation this season and I am sure only the home side needs points really so have risked the handicap home win!! I use a flat staking system - my confidence is listed above.

Sport	Football (Finland)
Event	Viikingit v Hämeenlinna
Selection	Viikingit (-1.25) (Asian Handicap)
Strength	10/10
Date	07/10/2006
Bookmaker/Price	Pinnacle Sports @ 1.93 (Back)
Reasoning	FC Viikingit Helsinki - FC Hämeenlinna Finland, Ykkönen 2006 Hämeenlinna are not the worst side in the league by any measure but their season has been very much dominated by the addition of Veikkausliiga players from friends Honka and Tampere and right now they are not with all these players as they head to Helsinki to meet a stronger side, away from home with very little to gain from victory. Hämeenlinna do still require points for safety but with 3 games to play they look safe enough of relegation....relegation has now changed with only 2 relegation chances as Division Two was reduced to 3 groups of 14 teams for season 2006 and 1 extra team is need to replace Allianssi who are without licence. This should mean Hämeenlinna are safe. Players like Pekka Sihvola have returned to Honka whilst Ernö Varga is on international duty with Hungry. Huge prospect defender also from Honka Lasse Lind remains but is injured. Midfielder Jussi Pellikka is also suspended for this match. As Viikingit are much stronger and need the points to ensure promotion whilst Hämeenlinna are all but safe and missing players I see a fairly comfortable win here. GL

Event	Vifk v Atlantis
Selection	Atlantis
Strength	10/10
Date	07/10/2006
Bookmaker/Price	Ladbrokes @ 1.80 (Back)
Reasoning	Vifk v Atlantis Finland, Ykkönen 2006 Atlantis have not been on the best form but like Viikingit they too are chasing promotion and with Oulu still well in the hunt this game is a must win. VIFK play in truth for nothing and should not prove a huge obstacle for Atlantis. Atlantis miss midfielder Mikko Simula through suspension but otherwise are at full strength. VIFK look weak right now and have several missings. Missing is key defenders Jocke Strand & Max Peltonen as well as regular midfielders Toni Björck and Sebastien Strandvall. All in all things look bad for VIFK but they should not really care too much as Atlantis win today v secured opponents. GL

[Galea78]

Kristian Kunnas scores for Viikingit in the 8th minute!

[Galea78]

So close!!!

FT Vifk v Atlantis 2-2
Vifk score on 88 mins to break my heart and bank!

FT Viikingit v Hämeenlinna 3-2
More late antics here but although we did not fully meet the handicap and tidy >2.5 makes profit here.

With Oulu we are still in profit but that late Vifk cost me and probably others a few units...
