BSK trashed OIF on Sunday even though the result suggests otherwise. That kind of a performance away proves BSK are more powerful than it's generally thought. They displayed that already in the final part of regular season. I didn't think they could lose away by only one goal but they played a brilliant game and were up to 7-8 goals ahead. That could have been even more convincing had they stayed focused. OIF, on the other hand, seem bad ever since the end of regular season when they secured the title by losing to Fyllingen.

The bookies give more chance to OIF today but that is not in accordance with what they've done so far, not only generally lately but also in meetings wtih BSK this season. They couldn't beat them by more than 2 goals even when they were in much better form. BSK have much better chance here given their performance form the first game. Things regarding the odds would be much different here, had BSK kept the goal difference they had for the most part of the first game. BSK beat Halden by 9 goals and Runar by 20 in the last two home games. We cannot forget the away game with Elverum when they were up to 5 goals away and played brilliantly only to lose power in the end.

I personally believe BSK can finish the job today but the counter handicap is a great chance because I don't think OIF can change their game so drastically in only 3 days. Once again, BSK were absolutely the better team in that game from start to finish. In the end, the playoffs are not that important for OIF since they secured a spot in Europe through the title and there is not enough money for CL.
