Do you bet on Northern European football championships? {Discussion Thread}

Honestly, I hadn't heard of these leagues, I only assumed they existed, lol. It's a very local and niche football, so to speak, which might be of interest primarily to people in Scandinavian countries. They don't have very strong squads, there are very few or practically no stars, and, let's be honest, we associate northern European countries primarily with completely different sports. Primarily winter sports, which involve ice and snow. Perhaps I'm missing something, not knowing about Norwegian or Finnish football, but I don't think it's a big deal, lol.

yes, many associate Northern European countries more with hockey than football. but look at their representation in European competitions, even the Champions League has two Norwegian clubs which is quite a lot. I think they'll make some sensational results.

Champions League: Bodo/Glimt (Norway) and Viking FK (Norway)
Europa League: Lillestrom (Norway)
Conference League: Mjallby (Sweden), KuPS (Finland), Aarhus (Denmark), FC Copenhagen (Denmark), Midtjylland (Denmark), Nordsjaelland (Denmark), Brann (Norway)

many have already noted that Norwegian teams often play over 2.5/3.5 goals and that's true. you can even take the results of this qualifiers for Bodo/Glimt: matches against Royale Union SG 3-3 and 2-2, and matches against Nijmegen 3-1 and 3-0. so if you bet on sports, maybe this information will help you make the right bet.

On and off I’ve been betting on these leagues. Every time a team makes a deep run in European competitions, it brings my attention back to Nordic football, which is the case right now with Bodo/Glimt.
One constant over the years in these leagues is how many matches finish over 2.5 goals. From a betting perspective that trend is a plus when targeting these fixtures.

I hope Bodo/Glimt will please us with their scoring in the group stage. although perhaps Viking will join in and their matches will also have over 2.5 goals. I checked Bodo/Glimt calendar and there's a high probability we'll see a lot of goals in matches involving this team. they play against Bayern, Borussia Dortmund, Napoli, Lille, LASK, Lens, Atletico Madrid and Club Brugge.

I used to bet on Northern European Champions but most times I bet on my favourite teams in the leagues in Northern European Championships, my predictions used to go side ways because you will see teams in relegation zone winning teams in top three often which make me to ask myself how did the teams in top three manage to accumulate the points that allow them to be in those positions if they can't win small teams, that was the reason I stopped betting on Northern European Championships.

This is not just a problem of one league but the problem of all the leagues in the world including the top European league because it is is how football plays out as anything can happen, any team can win. Also when the rop teams are playing Europe games in other competitions, they give less attention to the league and can use their second best teams to play the leagues while preserving their best players for Champions league or other Europe competition and this can make them lose the games. You have to make sure they do not have other big games ahead before deciding to bet on their games so as to avoid losing money on games the bigger teams do not take seriously or bet against them.
