Norway, Tippeligaen 26-28.april

[E_S]

26. april
19:00 Rosenborg 1.80 X 3.45 Tromsø 4.20
Rosenborg got a point against Vålerenga after they had played almost 60 minutes with a man less. Played very good in second half against Vålerenga and really deserved to get the one point. They have one win and one loss at home so far, the loss came against Fredrikstad were they played with a men less in the whole second half. Have played better in the last games, but lack someone who can score some goals.
Y.Kone (A 4games 2goals) is suspended after a red card. B.T.Kvarme(D 3games) is back from suspensipn after a red card. S.Iversen (A 1game) and M.Sapara (M) is back in training and could play here. R.Strand(M 4games) and R.Miller(D 3games) is doubtful for this game. M.Jamtfall(A) is injuryed. K.Stadsgaard (D 1game) played his first game last weekend.

Tromsø lost to Viking in last game, a game where they didn’t create many chances and the loss was well deserved. Havent played very well in the last games, and has to step up more if they want points here. They have got two draws on their travels so far, where they played very good against Lillestrøm.
Tromsø will miss Knut Borch (GK) with injury. Last season top scorer for Tromsø Morten Moldskred (A 1game) was back on the bench last weekend.

Hard game to see a winner in. Rosenborg has played well but haven’t scored much. Might be better if S.Iversen is back here. No bet so far.


27. april 2008
18:00 Bodø/Glimt 2.50 X 3.45 Aalesund 2.55
Bodø/Glimt started very well against Fredrikstad on Monday, but in the last 60 minutes it was more a question when Fredrikstad were going to score. They have played good in their two first home games and have 4 points in those games. The offensive part looks good for Bodø, while the midfield are missing some pace and the defenders aren’t strong enough to keep the opponents away.
S.Theting(D 3games) J.Lædre Bjørndal(D), D.Blomgren(D), E.Iversen(D) and B.Bjarnasson(M 1game) is out with injury.

Aalesund played a good game against Ham Kam last weekend, and got it easier when they were one man more in almost 60 minutes. Both teams missed on a penalty in that game, but Aalesund won 5-0. They have played against two strong teams in their earlier away games, but the play has been good. Normally not very good on their travels, but this game is being played on artificial grass, the same as Aalesund has on their home stadium.
G.Bahoken(M) is injuryed.

Think we can see some goals here so over for me.


18:00 HamKam 3.35 X 3.50 Stabaek IF 2.00
HamKam got a hard game against Aalesund and conceded 5 goals after getting a res card. They won their first home game against Viking, a game that was played on an awful pitch. Hopefully it will be a little better here, but it suits HamKam best if its not.
HamKam will miss K.H.Haraldsen(D), Håkan Malmström(D), Tom Kristoffersen(D), Steve Cooreman(D) and Pål Strand(M) with injury. J.Pasoja(D 4games) is suspended.

Stabæk played another great home game, when they easily beat Brann last weekend. Haven’t played very well in their two away games so far, but has managed draw in both games. Three of their biggest stars managed to score their first goal against Brann, and Nannskoog, Gunnarsson and Tchoyi should be pretty confident here.
J.I.Høiland(D 3games) is back from suspension. H.Hauger(M) and M.Kjølø(D 1game) are injured.

Normally Stabæk are favourites, but since the grass might be bad still, I won’t bet on them. Over might be an option if you have to bet.


18:00 Lyn Oslo 2.20 X 3.45 Fredrikstad FK 2.95
Lyn were close to get a point against Strømsgodset, but a late winning goal for Strømsgodset destroyed that. Lyn got a man out with red card, and played the last 35 minutes with a man less. They have won both home games this season and continued their good form from last year. They were lucky to grab all points against HamKam, while against Bodø they could easily have won with more goals.
Lyn has will miss Jimmy Tamand (D). O.Ighalo(A 4games 2goals) is doubtful after a hit in the game against Strømsgodset. L.K.Eriksen(D 1game) and S.Stefanutto(D) is doubtful. T.Bjarnason(M 4games 1goal) is suspended.

Fredrikstad are leading after they have won the last 3 games. Took a strong win against Rosenborg in last away game, but were close to lose some points there. Lost their first away game to Brann, but played well there and should got at least one point.
I.Fofana(A) got a injury on training all will be out for 1 week.

Hard to see a winner here, but it might come some goals here, so over for me.


18:00 Molde FK 2.35 X 3.30 Strømsgodset 2.85
Molde played a great game against Lillestrøm and created many chances there. They were close to win that game and continued with the good form they have showed so far this season. Still need to score more goals so they can win their first game, but it’s positive that they create many chances.
Molde will miss Christian Steen (D) and Valter Tomaz jr(D) with injury. M.Andreasson(D 1game) might miss this game.

Strømsgodset has played well lately and has 7 points on their last 3 games. Got a very late winning goal against Lyn last weekend, but the win was well deserved. They took a strong point in Bergen when they got a draw against Brann. They played a very well in second half in that game. Their first away game, they lost to Viking but were close to take at least one point there too.

If Molde managed to score they should have a good chance to grab all points. I wont bet on this game.


20:00 Brann 1.65 X 3.55 Lillestrøm 5.15
Brann has disappointed so far and has only 4 points after their first four games. They have taken all points home, were Fredrikstad is beaten and a draw against Strømsgodset. They haven’t played very well so far, and are far from the great play they showed last season. They were lucky to just loose by 3 goals against Stabæk last weekend and have to do much better if they want to fight in the top. Especially the defence looks weak and they are doing some easy mistakes back there.
H.Opdahl(GK 3games) has some problems with his knees and missed last game, but should be ready here. T.Jaiteh(M) is back in training again and played for the reserves on Monday. A.Björnsson(A) and E.Huseklepp(M) is injuryed.

Lillestrøm has also disappointed this season. They are last with two points before this game. Their only away game this season ended in a 2-4 loss to Stabæk, a game that they played very badly in. Lillestrøm is still trying to find their form and to grab their first win this season.
Lillestrøm will miss Marius Johnsen(D), Espen Søgård(M) and Markus Kiesenebner(M) for a long time with injury. Bjørn Helge Riise(M) is also out a few more weeks.

This was suppose to be a top match before this season, but both teams has started badly and it’s a very important game for both teams. Hard to see a winner as it can go both ways. Think we will see some goals here, over to bad odds.


28. april 2008
19:00 Viking 2.10 X 3.35 Vålerenga 3.25
Viking took a strong won against Tromsø last weekend and is second on the table after 3 wins of four possible. They have won both home games so far, but haven’t showed great play and are lucky to have taken all points. Star attacker P.Ijeh is still looking for his first goal this season.
Viking will miss P.Abelsson(D), J.Horn(D), M.Ross(D 1game), A.Ødegaard(A 3games) and T.Myhre(GK) with injury.

Vålerenga got only a draw against Rosenborg last weekend, a game were they had one man more for almost 60 minutes. The second half was pretty bad in that game, and they deserved to loose two points there. In their last away game they took a strong win against Lillestrøm with 3-0. Showed some very nice football there and won that derby game easily. Vålerenga lost their first away game to Tromsø.
Vålerenga will miss R.Lange (A), J.Jalland (M), and M.Fellah (A) with injury. L.I.Strand (M 3games) and K.Hæstad (M 3games) is doubtful.

This will be a even game and if you have to bet, go for under.

Good luck!

Think we can see some goals here this weekend. Not so sure about the draws.
Rosenborg are favorites and should win at home. Its seems that Iversen and Sapara is ready for this game, while Tromsøs central defenders, Koppinen and Reginiussen has some small injury problems.
Bodø/Glimt - Aafk can go both ways, but i think there will be some goals here, so better to bet on over, instead on who is going to win.
The same goes for HamKam - Stabæk and Lyn - Fredrikstad. Both these games are open and all teams can win. So its better to go for over in those games.
In the Molde - Strømsgodset game, i have placed a bet on Molde-0,25AH. Think they are favorites and should be good enough to win this game.
Brann - Lillestrøm is a open game. Cant understand that some bookies offers over 5.00 on Lillestrøm, so that ia a value bet for me. Think there will be some goals in this game too.
Viking - Vålerenga is a very open game and can easily end with a draw. Dont think there will be many goals here so under 2,75 looks good.

So to sum up, im not sure if there will be many draws this round. Most possible draws is in Vikings game and in HamKams game. In the other games i think we will get a winning team.

Hope this helps a little.

I must say I really fancy Brann this weekend

Lillestorm are IMO one of the most overated teams I have ever seen and have been COMPLETE SHIT so far this season!!
