Handball Europe 2 - 10/4

Sport	Handball
Event	IFK Skövde v Lugi HF
Selection	IFK Skövde

Reasoning	Really satisfying odds for the straight home win for Skovde today. History just too much on the side of the home team not to take a chance and increase the value of invested money by 60%. Anyway, its 4th game of the playoff series, with both team winning their home games. Both quite securely, as Lugi won at home with 28-24 and 27-26 and Skovde won their home game with 24-19. With the mentioned history factor - Skovde won last 6 out of 7 games at home, with one draw, the offered odds are IMO fair and worth taking. Also under looks a good bet, as those two are really going defensively on each other.

Reasoning	Lugi allowed least goals away of all teams this season, and also scored very few. Skövde are strong at home, scoed and allowed many. Despite Skövde's stats I think this one will go under. All three quarterfinals have gone under this line, the qf with Skövde as hometeam ended 24-19. I think and hope that Lugi can slow things down again, and make this one a lowscoring match, just they way most of their away matches have ended. Lugi's chance of getting a win away vs Skövde is to play a very tight defence, and not to try to compete with Skövde in an attacking frenzy.
