Team news killed the early ideas
Lineups:
Since last match Haka injury list has increased into huge dimensions, and as now the whole defense line out my early thoughts of an under are let go. Haka are without; Shane Mc Faul, Juuso Salonen, Antti Ojanperä, Obi Metzger, Jussi Heikkinen, Sami Sanevuori, Pauli Kuusijärvi and Jarno Mattila.
That is a total of 8 players, all of whom are regulars.
MIFK have almost a full 11 players with previous experience of first team football, but on the bench there are exactly 0 useful guys and they are not going to make any substitutions unless the game is already decided. From the starters I am doudbtful over Lundberg, Nordström and Amani. Might be promising kids but at this point nothing more yet. Some 4-5 regular starters sidelined.
To sum it up, both teams are far from their best, I will give up ideas of Haka to win and the game to be under and simply skip this one. MIFK odds likely to drop anyway because of the team news published half an hour ago so you better hurry if you want them, I do not.
Haka started about at -0.5 @ 2, has dropped already by a handicap in 20 minutes time after publishing the team news and odds are likely to find a level someplace and then start to fluctuate both ways until everyone knows the team news. What the correct price is impossible to say with so many non-regulars and kids starting for both sides.
Officially MIFK of course is IFK Mariehamn but I will keep it short today as well as in the future.

***************
Last weekend´s two games both went according to the plan. VPS - KuPS FT 0-1, both won one half performance-wise and KuPS deserved at least not to lose. Not sure about how justified the win was, the reports are biased as usual. New KuPS guy Obifuele did give a good impression as well as Abdulahi for VPS, but that was a sure thing as he has played here before. MyPa - Lahti FT 1-1 and the reports suggest that it is about 2 goals too many. Both managers said their team was the better one, yet they were at least semi-pleased not to lose. Funny.
