Farul - Rapid 4.23 3.40 1.65 1.85 1.14 1.24 02.08.2008 21:00

-Rapid is playing the best football in Romania those days. They have experienced and tehnical player who gives hope to the club to win Liga 1 this season. rapid should win this game because they are loocking like a big team this season. farul won in the first round 1-0 at gloria Buzau but i dont think they are able to make some problemes to Peseiro's boys. For me anything of a Rapid win should be a surprise.

MY PICK 1 @ 1.4



Zenit St.Petersburg - FC Moscow 1,40 3,60 7,70

-They have 1 game less than the top table teams, and if they lose ponts here it would be a disaster imo against such opponent. They have no win in their last 3 games and scored only once and come from 4 difficult games(Amkar, L.Moscow, D.Moscow and Cska Moscow), so I believe that this is the perfect moment for a big score for them.

MY PICK 1 @ 1.4


Honka - Jaro 95 1.45 3.68 6.85 03.08.2008 - 17:30

-For this weekend, I value Honka win over Jaro around 85 percent. Honka is in excellent form, I can see fluency in their game, even they lost to Akranes, they did their job; in last league match they very convincingly defeated Mypa away, and have 4-1-0 in their 5 previous matches. On the other side is Jaro (1-1-3, with win over poor KooTeePee) which is in poor form, they don't create chances and their defence is just awful, makes many mistakes, they concede much of the goals from set pieces which is also a plus for Honka. On top, there are informations from Niqe, so I believe this is very, very sure bet and 1,5 which I have at local IMO has great value. This is a game great for combos, handicaped, and also H/H, because Honka is keen to score early

MY PICK 2 @ 1.4


Tampere Utd - Rovaniemi 95 1.64 3.43 4.93 02.08.2008 - 17:30

-Tampere playing their games in a heavy fixture. In midweek they lost a European game in their home venue against Artmedia and they have to travel for second leg. Within this heavy fixture they time by time got poor results in the league. In this match their two forwards won't play. Scheweleff and Petrescu are out. One of the important member of the defense Lindström, Mathias who scored two goals so far is also doubtful. RoPS is a poor team on road games. They usually makes hard defenses when they are away from their home. Last week their played a boring game against Inter. They probably will do the same here. Rönkkö, Mweetwa and Tsykoliia are out where Chibwe is doubtful. One of their top scorer is doubtful and another is definitely out. RoPS will make hard defense and Tampere will be happy with a narrow win. In my opinion under is very likely here

-Tampere lost 1-3 on important and lot-waited UCL on wednesday. "nd part is already coming on next wed. so they will be resting some of their keyplayers. MISSING: Scheweleff, Petrescu, Lindström (?) (Tampere Utd) Rönkkö, Mweetwa, Tsykoliia, Chibwe? (Rovaniemi)

MY PICK U/O U @ 2.5



Brann - Ham-Kam 1.46 3.85 6.26

-After a really bad week, Brann managed to beat Ventspils in the CL-qualification on Tuesday. They controlled that game and should have won with more then 1 goal. Last home game in the league they lost to Aalesund, were they played very badly. Brann has 4-1-2 at home. Also last weekend against Fredrikstad, they had trouble with creating chances and it seems they miss top scorer T.Helstad(A 12games 11goals) badly. He is sold to Le Mans in France and Brann will be trying to find a new attacker as soon as possible. Coach Mjelde is also trying to find the right combination on central midfield, as the midfield has been pretty bad recently. J.G.Solli(M 13games 1goal) is injured. Ham Kam lost against last weekend and has now 9 losses so far on 15 games. They played a very poor first half against Lillestrøm last weekend, but were a little better in second half. Not a very ugly game against Lillestrøm, but the ref found enough reasons to give each team two red card. Ham Kam has been very poor on their travels and has 0-1-7 so far and only managed to score 3 goals on those games. Ham Kam looks at the moment like the biggest candidate for getting the relegation spot, but there is still some time left to change that. Midfielder A.Vitaic from Osijek, Croatia might be ready here, if all papers get through. R.Kienast(A 12games) has left the club to Helsingborg on loan. M.Ringberg(M 13games 3goals) and V.Bjerke(D 11games) is suspended. S.Coorman(M), S.I.Haagenrud(GK), H.Malmstrøm(M 2games), S.Plaku(A 1game) and T.Kristoffersen(M 2games) is injured. Many games for Brann at the moment, CL-qualification next week. I hope Brann wins here, but I wont bet on it.
