One more game from top of the table in norwegian postenligaen. Gjerpen have 3-0-3 and 6 points and Stabek have same score, 3-0-3 with 6 points too. Big game in Skien tonight for both teams.

Gjerpen lost three games against strong teams. Nordstrand at home (23-29), Storhamar (26-32) away and Byasen (24-27) away. Expecially in this last game in Trondheim against strogn Byasen Gjerpen played great. After that they won all 41-27 against Panellinios in cup winners. So Gjerpen is in great form and i expect that will easy win here against Stabek. In last season they lost both games against Stabek, 25-29 at home and 26-32 away in Oslo. But Stabek is not so strong as it wass in previously seasons ands that clearly shows their results. So this is great chance for home team to win and take very big three points.

Gjerpen have a nice team and can expect some succes in this season.
They have players as:
Iva Zamorska, Jeanette Svele, Janne Grimholt ,Lene Tønnesen, Anne Kjersti Suvdal, Raja Toumi, Sara Nirvander, Trine Bråthen, Mandy Burrekers, Pernille Sophia Ponce De Leon, Guro Øigarden, Sofia Berndtsson.


On the another side Stabek lost against Larvik (21-37) away, Tertnes (23-27) at home and Vag(20-30) away in their first three games in this season. But after that won 38-20 over Toten at home, 43-24 against Bakkelaget away and Njard 33-30 at home in last game. But this three teams are three teams from botton of league and just Njard of them have one win. So Njard lost 5 games and another two teams their all games. So this results of Stabek are not so strogn and Stabek is not so strong as their results show. Alo in last game against poor Njard, Stabek had a lot of problems to win the game.

Gjerpen is in better form and their results clearly show that. I think that in this game in Skien home team will easy win with 2 or more goals diference. My pick is Gjerpen with -1.5 ...

7th round in norwegian women league. Larvik adn Byasen are two best teams in Norway.After 6 rounds both teams have 6 wins in 6 games. Larvik is leading with better goal diference. Storhamar is on the 3th place with 5 wins and just one lost game. That happened against Njard in away game when Storhamar lost 22-29. That was a big suprise but that was a big lesion for team from Hamar. After thet game they won 3 games in a row: Gjerpen (32-26) and Nordstrand (36-23) at home and Levanger (36-27) away. Storhamar started to play great and i see very close them here to win in this game. Also in last weeken Storhamar won over Leipzig 27-25 in EHC Cup. Team is in great form and i think that they can make great result here in Hamar against Byasen.
Also Storhamar will have great support as it their funs do always, expecially in this big games.

Byasen from Trondheim is tougheder with Larvik almost bigest team in Norway. They won all 6 games wich played. Also they won over Frankfurt in EHF Cup with 36-31. Byasen have great results but they dont play so quaility and strong handball as it was in previously seasons. That shows their some very tight wints as it was case in Turkey in champions league when they won just 31-28 over home team Milli Pyango. Also in last game they won just 27-24 over Gjerpen at home. Also they lost at home in champions league against Volgograd 27-28. All this results shows that Byasen is not so strong as it was in previously seasons.
Main reason is fact that they lost two great players, Tonje Nøstvold j(She leaft Byasen and play now in danish Ikast) and Gøril Snorroeggen (very quality player wich is injured a long time)...Absence of this two players is big problem for Byasen and their results shows that game of Byasen is not so strong and efective as it was in previously seasons.

On the another side, Storhamar have very quality team. They have great players as Betina Riegelhuth, Anja Edin, Maja Jacobsen, Heidi Tjugum, Izabela Duda, Kamilla Sundmoen and Marita Brennodden. Izabela Duda is topscorer in norwegian eliteserien in this season.

Storhamar played two games against Byasen in last season and lsot both, 21-31 in Trondheim and 28-32 in Hamar. This time Storhamar have very strong team and i dont bolive that wil lose this game with 4 or more goals. Byeasn is favorite but here we can expect that can lose point or points first time in this seaseon.

My pick is Storhamar with +3.5

I will be really shortly here i am apologize for that coz game will start soon. This is first of two final games and this game will be played in Osaka, and another one in Adelaid. This is final of AFC champions league and bigest game for both teams in all season. Actually this is bigest game for Adelaid in all their club history.

Gamba is really big favorite here. Expecially in this first game in Japan. They have very strong and quality team and i can se just one outcome from this game and thats home win.

Both teams won their groups with same score : 4 wins, 2 draws and without lost game. Adeiaid was in group with Changchun Yatai (CHN), Pohang Steelers (KOR) and Binh Duong (VIE). On the another side Gamba Osaka was in group with this teams: Melbourne Victory (AUS), Chunnam Dragons (KOR) and Chonburi FC (THA). Here Gamba won both games against another australian team Melbourne: 4-3 in Australia and 2-0 in Japan, so it clearly show a big quality diference between japanish and australian football. Melbourne is now leading in australian A league so we can expect that Gamba will win over Adelaid too.

In 1/4 finals, Adelaid won over Kashima (wich is leading in japan J league) with 1-1 in Japan and 1-0 in Australia. That was big game for them but Kashima si fighting for the title in Japan so maybe ther put more importance for domestic league.
Gamba was better then Karam (Syria), 2-1 away and 2-0 at home. Two great victories for japanih team.

In 1/2 finals Adelaid won 3-0 at home against FC Bunyodkorom (Uzbekistan) and then lost 0-1 away, but came to final.
Gamba played 1-1 at home agaisnt another big team, Urawa and then won 3-1 away.

So this was way of this two teams til final. For todays game Adelaid will be without Paul Reid and Fabian Barbiero but goalkeeper Eugene Galekovic and middlefielder Diego will come back to team after injures.

Gamba Osaka have great and talented team wich is mach better in tactical field then Adelaid. Gamba have three brasilians players and Yasuhito Endo is best of them and maybe best player in all japanish J-league.

I watched some games from Australian soccer in last time and cant say that was very very bad. Quality of teams is very low and they play poor football. I think that Gamba will win today and i expect here a very easy home win, maybe with 2 or more goals advantage coz they will have another game in Australia too.

I will take here clear away win on Inter coz i said that i will bet on every game of Inter in champions league. Of course i will bet every time on Inter coz they are my bigest favourite in this season in champions league. So my another bet will be Inter to win the game.
Placing 186 units here on one bet is not clever idea, but i will do just coz i said that i will bet in every game on Inter after Mourinho arrival to Inter before the start of season. I bolive in this team and their succes in CL in this season.

Internazionale Milan is great team but big disadvantage of this great team is Ibra-factor. If he is cheerful, everyhinh is OK and Inter play great, expecially in ofence. But when Ibra has not his great day, then game of Inter is borning..But just 3-2 against Reggina in last round and previously 0-0 agains Genoa and 0-0 against Fiorientina, clearly show that Inter play not so great as it was expected from this team. But games in Seria A are one competetion and champions league is another one. After they won so many titles in Italy in a row, Internazionale focused more on CL and that shows arrival of Jose Mourinho til Italy in this season.

Inter Milan want succes in CL in this season and i think that this is their main target in this season. Game of Inter is not great but stil they lost just one time in this season ( 0-1 against AC Milan). Anorthosis is not a team wich can beat Inter in this comeptetion. Inter is elading in this group with 7 points and win in this game can secure them a first position. Anorthosis have 4 points and follow Werder with 3 points and Panathanaikos with one point. In last three games Inter will play two times away (Anorthosis and Werder) and one time in Italy against Panathanaikos. OF course Inter can take draw here and win over Panathanaikos in Italy and again will secure first position but on this way they cant account on any succes in champions league. To take something from this competetion, team must be always in form and win almost all games til final. That showed Man Utd in last season and Liverpool in previously seasons.

So Inter travel to Cyprus to take all points and i am sure that will take it. They won just 1-0 over them in Italy. Also Inter in one very bad game played just 1-1 against Werder. So with this games they cant win something from champions league coz in next round they will be eliminated if they play like this. But Mourinho had time to chance tactic against Anorthosis and i think that we will see a new Inter Milano here in this game.

Players of Inter for game against Anorthosis:

Goalkeepers: 1 Francesco Toldo, 12 Julio Cesar, 22 Paolo Orlandoni.

Defenders: 2 Ivan Ramiro Cordoba, 6 Maxwell, 13 Maicon, 16 Nicolas Burdisso, 23 Marco Materazzi, 39 Davide Santon.

Midfielders: 4 Javier Zanetti, 5 Dejan Stankovic, 14 Patrick Vieira, 19 Esteban Cambiasso, 33 Amantino Mancini, 36 Francesco Bolzoni, 44 Luca Tremolada, 77 Ricardo Quaresma.

Strikers: 8 Zlatan Ibrahimovic, 9 Julio Ricardo Cruz, 41 Mattia Destro, 45 Mario Balotelli.

We can see that Inter have almost strongest side for this game and i expect that will easy win over Anorthosis. My pick is Inter with -1...

Rogle came to swedish eliteserien in this season and made great suprise. They are leading in eliteserien with 33 points. The people wich supported this team could make great money betting on this team coz Rogle was placed as one outsider and odds for their wins were great. But this is i think the first game where Rogle is placed as favourite and my opion about them is not so great so i see a nice value on away win.

Rogle have great results and now 4 wins in a row after they lost just 1-2 at home against Skelleftea. But before that game Rogle had also some results. But in last 4 game they won following games:

-Farjestad 3-2 away - won
-Froluinda 6-3 home - won
-Brynas 2-1 away - won
- Modo 3-2 away - won

Well, this results seems great but Rogle didnt played so great as this results show. First of all i lost my 3 bets against them in this last 4 games. But i know that expecially against Farjestad and Brynas todays favorite Rogle didnt was so great and their opponents had more shots on goal then Rogle. They were lucky and they have to work more to be able to win 4 games in a row again. That didnt anyone expect from this club before start of season.

Lulea is one average team in Sweden wich are able to win some big games. In last season Lulea finished on 10th place and collected 27 of tottals 66 points in away matches. In this season Lulea is againt on 10th place with 22 points. But this time they won just 5 points away and 17 points at home. Lulea comes to this game after great result and great win over Timra (5-1) at home. So i expect that they will do something in this game. In first game between this two teams Rogle won 4-3 away against OT and this time i expect that Lulea will take points.
Lulea have not big injure problems for this game and i expect that can take win in Angelholm tonight. Rogle have some missings for todays game: Nihlstorp, Demén-Willaume, Cam Abbott, Sjögren and Erkgärds are injured and cant play today. But one part of them were out in past games also when Rogle easy won some game, so this may not be begest advantage for Lulea. They must play great tonight if they want points but if Lulea repeat performance as it was against Timra, i tihnk that can win this game.

I watched last game of Hansa and bet on them when they played against almost last placed Frankfurt away. Results was 0-0 but i am not really impresed with the form of Hansa. They played so bad that Frankfurt easy could make some goals if they were little better in ofence. So i dont expect that something big can be chanced since the last game. Hansa didnt succesed to play any game there and almost didnt had any chance to score a goal. So i really can understand how thay won 9-0 over Koblenz.
Hansa have 13 points and after big wins at home over St Pauli (3-0) and Koblenz(9-0), they will have now more dificult job if they want to win at home again.
Furth have 15 points, but just 4 of them tok in away games. One against Frankfurt 81-1) and three against Oberhausen (4-0). But in last away game they lost 1-3 agaisnt Munchen (1-3). Also in last round they didnt succes to win over Aachen (1-1). So after two games without win, Furh will look to come back to the winnings stake.

It wil be tight game for sure and both teams will try to win or dont lose at least. Three poitns here for every of them can mean very mach and can take them between first 5 teams on the table. So it will be great game.
As i said, Hansa didnt make anything against Frankfurt in last game. Frankfurt was better side and they easyly could win that game. So i dont expect that Hansa after so poor performance agaisnt Frankfurt can overplay Furh. Draw is very posible here but my pick wil be Furth with +0.5

New Castle is not in great situation again. They have just 7 points after 9 games. Team is without win in last 7 league games. Actually they have just one win in all season, they won 1-0 over Bolton in second round. Just Tottenham is behind New Castle with 5 points, but Tottenham won last game and have new coach, so it is expected that they will win some games soon. So it means that New Castle will be alone on the botton if dont take some points from next few games.
New Castle played 2-2 against Man City in last home game where New Castle could take all three points but City scored for 2-2 in the last part of the game. In last game New Castle lost 1-2 away against Sunderland and made more dificult for them coz with just 6 points they have to win now over WBA..

Good news for New Castle is that WBA isnt in better form. They lost 0-4 against Man Utd away and then 0-3 at home against Hull. So after 0-7 in last two games self confidence in team isnt so great and it is big question what they are expecting here from todays game.

Nicky Butt and M. Owen will not play today for New Castle. I think that this is great news. Both players dont deserved to play in sach great team as New Castle is and form of both players inst on level wich is expected from them.

WBA scored just one time in this season in 4 away games wich played and then won 1-0 over Mboro. So it means that their ofence power is very limited in away games. On the another side New Castle scored in every of their last 4 home games wich played in this season. But their defence is not working perfectly. It means that New Castle can play more ofensive today hoping that will score some goals here and hoping that will not receive a goal from WBA.

My pick here will be home win..

Big game from the botton of Bundesliga. Arminia have 7 points and Cottbus have 5 points. There are also Bochum and Mgladbach also with 7 points. It will be long season and great fighting for relegation between this teams.

Bielfeld is not in great situaion, just one win in last 5 games. Actually they are without win in 4 last games. Also next game will play away against Bayern and then host Mgladbach, so it means that without some wins Bielfeld can be last on the table soon. They will try to expace that situation with win over Cottbus tonight. Bielfeld played 4 games at home and 5 away. In home games they lost against HSV and Karlsruher but tok one point against Werder (2-2) and won against Koln (2-0).
So with this dificult, Arminia have not so many coise. They must attack and look for all points here. In last game Arminia played great against Schalke away and made great defence so they stoped Schalke to score. Final result was 0-0 and Arminia tok big points here and more important they won self confidence again and i expect a clear home win here.

On the another side last placed Cottbus have just 5 points. They lost all last three games after won 1-0 over Koln away. In last game they had 2-0 over Frankfurt and lost 2-3 so i am not optimistic for their motivation today. This must afect their motivation and self confidence and i dont bolive that they will take any point in this game against Arminia.

Also, in last seaseon Cottbus hosted Arminia in 28th round. Before that game Cottbus was on the 14th place with 26 points and Bielfeld was on the 15th place with 25 points. In that game Cottbus won 1-0 over Bielfeld and made a very dificult situation for them coz after that game Bielfeld was in relegation zone. But with the late wints at home over Leverkusen and Bochum, Bielfeld tok important points and excaped the relegation. So in this game i think that players of Bielfeld will be very motivated to revange to Cottbus.

Both teams have some missings for todays game but since both teams have not special talends and stars in their teams, i think that it is not big problem to miss some players for them coz quality between playes in squad is not so big as it is in more quality teams.

My pick here will be home win.

Rogle came from swedish 2nd league and made some very respectable results in first league. They have 7-1-7 and beat very strongs teams as Timra, Farjestad, Linkopings...But still i think that Rogle is just one average team and was very lucky...For example, in last game they won 3-2 away over Farjestad but in that game Farjestad had minimum two times more shots on goal then Rogle, but final result was 2-3.

Frolunda on the another side have new team, created from very quality players. They ddint start great in this season. They lost 6 of first 9 games. But finally Frolunda found the form and tok great results in last three games,. They won 5-3 over HV71 , drawed 2-2 against Farjestad at home and then won 3-2 over Linkopings away after extra time. So Frolunda will try to continue with great results. Frolunda didnt make anything special in last two season and with this new players they will create a great team til the end of season and try to make some succes in play off at the end of season.

Both teams have not injure players and both teams will play with same line ups as it was in their last games. Thsi two teams played already one time in this season and Frolunda won 4-1 at home. That was their first game coz Rogle played in second league. My pick here is Frolunda.

Nothing mach to say here. In this league scores a lot of goals per game. I think that this game will also be one of them where we will see a lot of goals.
Both teams are in the middle of the table. Karntern won 5 games in a row and make nice progess but then lost 2 in a row, against Austrai Wien and Sturm, two strong teams.
In all their last 9 games (includint previously 0-0 draw against Ried and lost game against Sturm 0-2) both teams didnt scored a goals in that games. Yhat was very strange knowing that austrian league is reach with goals. So in todays game i think that finally both teams will score. Karntern have 17, LASK have 21 points. In their first game in this season LASK won 3-2 at home and i expect a open and similar game against with a lot of goals. My pick is that both teams will score here..
