hi guys

KALMAR FF VS HALMSTADS

top of the league kalmar have started the season really well winning all there 6 home games so far and netting 18 goals and conceding only 4 in the process,they have also scored 10 goals in there last 2 games,5 of them goals scored playing at home against djurgarden hew have only let in 9 goals in all 6 of there away games!

as for halmstads there looking very average sitting 9th in the league and having just come back of the break played at home and held hammarby to a 1-1 draw.halmstads are also worse away than they are at home so cant see them getting anything from a red hot kalmar!

kalmar have also won 5 out of the last 6 games these 2 have played together halmstads winning only 1

KALMAR WIN AT 5/8 ON Betfair

any views on the game would be largely appreciated boys,

cheers lads!

Thats a good call, Kalmar have been in great form and I cannot see past a home win here. Played well in their last match away from home winning 4-1 so Im also gona back them.

Kalmar and Bodo Glimt double for me,

Kalmar got a great home record and score for fun and Bodo Glimt I think can upset Brann

Don't mean to put the mockers on it but Kalmar will draw/lose at home at some point and Halmstads are not that bad. They can pull out a performance when they need to and the home price is just a little on the short side for me. Rasmus Elm and Patrik Rosengren are both missing for the home side. No bet for me.

2nd round of the Intertoto Cup today and surprisingly some value

Sivasspor to beat Grbalj @ 2

Sivasspor 4th in the Turkish league last term evens to beat Grbalj of Montenegro, looks brilliant value. Sivasspor have not been beaten away from home since December 14th 2007 at the Ali Sami Yen in Istanbul, home of Turkish champions Galatasaray. They have since won 7 of 9 matches on the road and I am cofident they will attack Grbalj as they are managed by Bulent Ugyun who is one of the up and coming coaches in Turkey. Last season was the most succesful in the clubs history and they have added to the squad this summer. Grbalj are strong at home but they looked average in Celik Zenica and they do lack goals in my opinion, against a quality side from a top league like Sivasspor they will struggle.

Chernomorets Burgas to beat ND Gorica @ 1.91

Bulgaria is a tricky place to go and play your football and ND Gorica will be tested in Burgas for this Intertoto tie. Chernomorets finished their domestic season strongly, winning three straight at home including a 2-1 win over the powerhouse of Bulgarian football Levski Sofia. Chernomorets are a very hard working side and I am sure they will take this competition seriously and they will want to be in the UEFA Cup. Gorica will be the same but they were poor at home against Hibernians last week, drawing 0-0. At the back end of the season, Gorica struggled on the road winning just 1 of 6 away fixtures. These are two pretty small clubs without much european pedigree, but home advantage will be vital for in my opinion the better of the two teams.

Tavryia to beat FC Tiraspol @ 2

Cant believe Tavryia are even money I really must be missing something but I still fancy them to beat FC Tiraspol of Moldova. The Ukrainians finished the season strongly away from home winning 3 of their last 4 on the road. They finished a very solid 5th last term and reached the semi finals of the Ukrainian Cup. I have seen some footage of FC Tiraspol play and in the three matches I have seen, their keeper has looked very shaky and I think they may really struggle at the back and if they arent solid they will be beaten easily and to be honest I just cant see them matching Tavriya.

Any chance you could put the missing players for Kalmar into perspective KK, for eg, Keane for United, Larsson for Celtic or Dunne for city etc.

I doubt Tavryia victory `cause Tiraspol is showing good results in Moldova (semifinal this year). there is wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FC_Tiraspol
regarding intertoto they were in third round last year.
Tavryia is fifth in domestic tournament and badly plays away.
today they go to Moldova, Tiraspol. ukrainians haven`t been in intertoto since 1993
Tiraspol is trained by ukrainian guy, who, respectively, knows their tactics.
as for me, pretty good odds on Tiraspol victory.
bookies sometimes make interesting intertoto odds.
last intertoto lucky surprise was Zhetysu Taldykorgan vs Budapest Honved on 22nd of june.
underestimated Honved won Zhetysu (Kazakhstan) at odds 4.3 and more
good luck everyone!

Great tip for today, kalmar is in good shape at the moment and they score very often. in the last 2 games the goalscore is 10-2..

at the moment Mansion.com (bookie) offer odds 2.18 on over 2.75 goals in the match. Last time they meet kalmar won 3-0 at home.

could be a worth trying this odds.-)

[welshie1]

they are playing well in the Moldovan league? No disrespect but it doesnt take a lot does it, the Ukrainian league is of far higher standard than Moldovas and finished 5th in a competitive league. Only semi final of Moldovan Cup, not brilliant really and Tavriya reached the semi in Ukraine. They did not play badly away at the end of the season, won 3 of 4 only Dynamo Kiev beat them in those last four matches.

Chivas USA - San Jose Earthquakes 1 1,80 8/10

San Jose will be without injured Glinton and Philippe where Cochrane, Kirovski and Smarte are doubtful. Galindo is the biggest worry for the home side.

[ugunsdzesejs]

tried to get some info. Tavria coach says that they have several injuries and are not going to Tiraspol as the best possible squad.
here is interview with coach (in russian):
http://www.ua-football.com/ukrainian/news/486f3cc1.html
anyway, odds on Tiraspol victory are pretty good here:)
at least, worth to consider a small punt
good luck everyone!

Krylia Sovetov to beat Rubin Kazan @ 2.75

Russian league returns today and a very interesting match takes place in Samara between Krylia Sovetov and leaders Rubin Kazan. Krylia have been playing well this season and they are currently four matches unbeaten at home, winning three of those four matches. They are starting to build a good side and have signed both Jan Koller and Maxim Shatskikh who will boost their attack. Their midfield is strong with Escobar, Jarosik and Tikhonov all very good players and they are a decent outfit. Rubin are starting to become the new Zenit, their is a lot of money floating about at the club and they are a side to watch. But they did lose their last away match at Spartak Nalchik and before the break they did go on a bit of a bad run, winning just 1 of 4. Krylia have a good home record against Rubin and are unbeaten in their last four against the team from Kazan, winning two and drawing two.
