Gnistan vs SJK Akatemia

Gnistan host SJK Akatemia for this Finnish Ykkönen battle at Mustapekka Areena in Oulunkylä, in the suburbs of my hometown Helsinki. I will be watching this clash at the arena myself to get the best possible picture on both teams' current level. This is the second tier of Finnish football - the level is very low and many players are not even full-time footballers. It is a lucrative league to bet on though! Indeed, my fans and I have easily won all the three picks on Ykkönen this week - and one on Veikkausliiga, the first tier. Gnistan are a traditional Ykkönen club where they have played for years now without having a genuine chance of being promoted. They did visit the Veikkausliiga shortly several years ago. The have quite a high players' salary budgets and financial resources in general Ykkönen standards. They also have quite good fans at the arena - decent numbers of loyal spectators too in the week-end games - at least on a good weather. Taking a look at the long-term statistics they are a good home team. This season their goal difference in front of home fans is 21:7. SJK Akatemia, on the other hand, are SJK's - who play in Veikkausliiga - youth/reserve team.

The visitors dominated in Kakkonen, the third tier, last season and were promoted as a "reward". However, Kakkonen is of much lower level than Ykkönen! These kinds of youth/reserve teams,however, rarely perform as well as they should in terms of the list would suggest.. According to my sources the visitors do not have a particularly good team spirit.. Indeed, some players quite often play more for themselves than for the team. This is understandable of course as these young, talented players are trying to build a career for themselves in SJK - or even abroad in much bigger leagues.They have been in decline lately - even though their results have been pretty OK. Many of their players have been with SJK lately - even in UEFA Conference league matches against Flora from Estonia and Lillestom (Norway) but also in Veikkausliiga games. These players include for example very talented Kingsley Ofori and Samson Ebuka. Sadly for the visitors. Noa Lehtonen and Sami Sipola are out (suspended) today because of too many cards. They have been important players for SJK Akatemia this season.They have a grueling trip to Helsinki ahead of them by bus and have not won any of their latest five matches on the road - losing three of these. Under-valued Gnistan are 56% favorites to win this match against the over-hyped, talented youngsters from Seinäjoki. In their most recent match, SJK Akatemia were okay against a rather mediocre team KPV from Kokkola at home and it was a 1-1 draw after a balanced battle. SJK Akatemia's offensive game was quite lame though. Before this they were very lucky to avoid a defeat in Pietarsaari against Jaro. It was another 1-1 draw.

Gnistan are in good form and do not have any clear weaknesses in their game. Even so, they did suffer a rather humiliating loss in their most recent match in Parainen. Indeed, PIF Parainen took a surprising and hugely undeserved 1-0 win. Gnistan were the better team with around 60% ball possession and more shots on target. They just had a "bad day at the office" and PIF also defended better than nornally. Gnistan recorded much more attacks - 172-113 and had some 50% more dangerous attacks than PIF. It seems the betting market has reacted too much on this loss - I will not! Before this they were very good against the much-improved and second-best team in this league, KTP from Kotka. Indeed, they took a fully deserved 2-1 home win after 54% ball possession and creating more shots on target as well as more scoring attempts. If they can perform even close to the level they showed against KTP they will probably send the visitors home without points. Gnistan have an almost full squad available here as Tommi Jäntti and Elton Maloku are now back. Kasperi Liikonen is out because of long-term injury though.

在我的家乡赫尔辛基郊区Oulunkylä的穆斯塔佩卡Areena。我将亲自在球场上观看这场比赛，以尽可能了解两队目前的水平。这是芬兰足球的第二级——水平很低，许多球员甚至不是全职球员。不过，这是一个有利可图的联赛!事实上，我和我的粉丝本周已经轻松赢得了Ykkönen上的三个选项，其中一个是第一梯队Veikkausliiga。尼斯坦是一个传统的Ykkönen俱乐部，他们已经踢了很多年，现在没有一个真正的提升机会。几年前，他们确实参观过Veikkausliiga。他们有相当高的球员的工资预算和财政资源一般Ykkönen的标准。在球场上，他们也有相当多的球迷——周末的比赛中也有相当数量的忠实观众——至少在天气好的时候是这样。从长期的数据来看，他们是一支优秀的主队。本赛季他们在主场球迷面前的净胜球是21:7。另一方面，Akatemia是在维考斯利加青年队/预备队踢球的SJK。

上个赛季客队在卡科宁(卡科宁是第三梯队)占据了主导地位，并被提拔为“奖励”。然而，Kakkonen的级别要比Ykkönen低得多!然而，这些年轻/预备队的表现很少达到他们应该达到的水平。据我所知，参观者没有特别好的团队精神。事实上，有些球员经常更多的是为自己而不是为球队打球。这当然是可以理解的，因为这些年轻、有天赋的球员正试图在SJK建立自己的职业生涯，甚至在国外更大的联赛。他们最近一直在下降——尽管他们的结果还不错。他们的许多球员最近都在SJK效力——即使是在欧足联联赛中对阵爱沙尼亚的弗洛拉和挪威的利勒斯顿，也有在维卡考斯利加的比赛中。这些球员包括才华横溢的金斯利·奥弗里和萨姆森·埃布卡。对游客来说是悲哀的。诺阿-莱赫托宁和萨米-西坡拉今天因为卡牌太多而停赛。他们是SJK Akatemia本赛季的重要球员。他们要坐大巴前往赫尔辛基，这是一场艰苦的旅程，最近的五场客场比赛没有赢过一场——输掉了其中的三场。被低估的尼斯坦有56%的希望在这场比赛中战胜来自Seinäjoki的被过度炒作的天才年轻人。在他们最近的一场比赛中，SJK Akatemia在主场对阵科科拉的KPV时表现不错，在一场平衡的战斗后打成了1-1平。SJK Akatemia的进攻很差劲。在此之前，他们很幸运地避免了在Pietarsaari输给了Jaro。这又是一场1比1的平局。

尼斯坦状态很好，在比赛中没有任何明显的弱点。尽管如此，他们在最近一场与帕莱宁的比赛中输掉了一场相当丢脸的比赛。的确，PIF帕莱宁以一场令人惊讶的、极不应得的1-0获胜。尼斯坦是一支更好的球队，控球率约为60%，射正次数也更多。他们只是“在办公室度过了糟糕的一天”，PIF的辩护也比平时更好。尼斯坦的攻击次数比PIF多出了大约50%，达到了172-113次。看来博彩市场对这次损失反应太大了——我不会的!在此之前，他们在对阵来自Kotka的KTP时表现非常好，KTP是这个联盟中进步很大的第二好球队。事实上，在54%的控球率和更多的射正以及更多的得分尝试之后，他们在主场取得了完全应得的2-1胜利。如果他们的表现能接近对阵KTP的水平，他们可能会让客队丢分。尼斯坦有一个几乎完整的阵容，托米Jäntti和埃尔顿马鲁库现在回来了。由于长期的伤病，卡斯利·利科宁不能上场。
