Ok then, as the odds and handicap are not to my liking I keep this one as free and short.

Two biggest candidates for promotion before the season started, but during it HIFK have played horribly badly, and the coach Sami Okkonen seems to be in a club too big for his current skills and charisma. On paper HIFK should be on top, they actually are the last and deservedly so! They have not deserved any more. Last round I backed them to win away at SalPa myself, they conceded a silly goal at 95th minute in a game where neither could create anything, or to pass the ball to their own team member and it was painful to watch.

HIFK are disappointing at exactly all fronts, and their biggest signing Paulus Arajuuri used to be FIN national team starter for a decade or so, but now... he really should retire. Too many injuries in the history, too many years in the clock. He is still charming, but slow, old, not able to perform on his solid level. Another one who should not play anymore in this level is left fullback Matias Hänninen. Slow, hazardous, useless going upwards.

TPS took their first win of the season last round, and there is an improving trend, and also there are some national team icons like Kasper Hämäläinen, but the difference is that he can still perform, and he has returned to the club where it all started. I believe he is also a co-owner.

TPS are constant failures and never worth a high handicap, but in the actual international betting markets this is so wrongly priced that you can even get a +0 moneyline handicap bet, surely TPS are not going to lose this one!

No major team news, HIFK miss probably captain Malolo, another defender Finnäs, the only positives I can find are attacking players Tukiainen and Tiquinho, but they did not even start last time.

1-3
