Liiga betting

Liiga is Finland's top hockey league, with clubs from cities across the country and a long record of producing NHL players. The season runs from September to the spring, ending in the playoffs for the Finnish championship.

Games are often tight and low-scoring, so the total goals line and the regular-time result, where a draw is a real outcome, are among the most followed markets.

Markets you usually see

• Match result - home, draw or away after regular time.
• Winner including overtime - which team wins, however the game ends.
• Puck line - a handicap, usually a goal and a half.
• Total goals - over or under a line of goals.
