Sweden - Allsvenskan (10-12 June 07)

[G:G]

Pinnacle have raised the odds for Djurgården, so I'll try that one too, not much to add to previous reasonings. Djurgården very up and down in their performances, but if they have a good day today I think they will win vs a slightly overrated IFK who have overperformed at the start of the season but looked very lame vs Gais (no awaymatch for Gais though, Finlandia, they share homeground with IFK). Mattias Jonsson still missing for Djurgården, but they did well without him last match.

Djurgården -0.25 @ 1.96 (Pinnacle)


Kalmar - Helsingborg very tough to predict imo, I see a small value in the high odds for Helsingborg, they can certainly win this one, but Kalmar a tough nut to crack, they should not be underestimated.

I just feel though that 4th against 2nd this is an opportunity for both to shoot for 3 points. Any thoughts?

Wish I'd tailed myself...2-1 HT

I did on the other hand jump on Orgryte and that's looking good at the half, so all is not lost.

Kalmar 1-0 Helsingborg HT

G:G or someone from Sweden could you please share some light to my question, has Helsingborg played this way all along (like in this games first half)? I must say, I'm completely stunned by the way they are playing. The first 30mins they were just walking down the field and looked like they couldn't care less what the outcome of the matchup is going to be, the game could as easily be 5-0 to Kalmar.. seriously, I don't remember seeing anything like that at this level when two pretty equal teams matchup. And the thing is that it's not that they got dominated by Kalmar, they just seem like they don't care ...and the bithching isn't cuz my bet is losing, I've alrdy got my share of winnings for the day as Djurgården won 2-1 and Örgyte walked over Falkenberg.

Helsingborg have been very, very unreliable all season, they sometimes play good, but sometimes just plain awful, strange, cause manager Baxter haven't exactly been known to tolerate players who don't give 100%.

Unreliable seems a good choice of words. Just lost interest watching the game around 75min mark. Still, although they looked awful today, I must admit that they had some nice moments and creativity at offensive end but it was followed by very poor finishing and low quality crosses followed another after another. So maybe there is some hope, but after watching todays performance and especially following their defense... it's hard to believe that they have won anything
