Adeccoligaen - Alta v Kongsvinger
The hosts started to get their act together earlier, with signing GK from abroud, and actually started winning, and specially at home. They lost last home match 2-3, after leading the whole match, but the two homematches before that they confidential won 3-0 and 4-1 (but thats a month ago). In the last three matches they are wothout points, and the score stands; 7:4.
Kongsvinger have recently appointed Tom Nordlie as new manager, and for one reason only - to avoid relegation! So far, so Good. His first match ended with a loss against topteam Odd, but after that they defeated Hødd(2-4), Hønefoss(2-1) and last round Sparta was defeated (2-1). 9 points in 3 matches. That is almost more points that they had before Nordle came to Kongsvinger. The team have gained more confidence, and Nordlie have had a great impact on the team.
So this match can give Kongsvinger a four point lead, who will be really imporntant for Tom Nordlie and his guys, or Alta can be a head by 2. I am really confident that Kongsvinger have a much better teamspirit and morale at the time, and that they have more than enough quality to win this one. The only thing that is holding me back from be sure on Konsvinger is he fact that the match is in Alta, and that their arena is in a inside hall and the fact that Alta, despite of their poor league possition, can play great at their homecourt with their fans in the back. And in matches in generel they often are unlucky and losses close matches, like last three matches are all lost by one goal, and they score in almost every single match. An through the whole season they only have 2 draws, so in close even matches they get i trouble at the end, and the lack of experince are ruining for them.
I have several picks for this match:
The first is that I am 9/10 sure about over 2.5 goals and that both teams will score. That is because they both are in need of all three points here. And Alta will play attacking from the beginning, and as I know Nordlie he will push his players forward, so it will be a match with a lots of chances and both sides will score. Also because that both sides are better in the attacking part of the game. Conceeded 52 and 55, which is over 2 per game.
But my pick will be Konsvinger. I really think Nordlie has turned things around for Kongsvinger, they have proved that three matches in a row, against some great teams. Last two matches ended 2-1, so was some even matches, but Kongsvinger showed strength through all 90 minuts, which have been a problem for Alta this season. Kongsvinger know that points from this match is really important, so therefor my final pick will be that Kongsvinger will win as I see some great value ar odds 2.70, but avoiding max stakes since Alta can surprise, even though they have lost all three last matches and are close to relagtion, but this pick is interesting and some good value, but chose pick wisely. Good luck
