Football Bet of the Day: Wasps to get stung in Sweden

Hacken v Helsingborgs
Monday 18:00

Kev's favourite ageing French striker was nowhere to be seen in Cologne yesterday. Anthony Modeste's rumoured - and apparently now confirmed - move to Dortmund kept him out of Koln's 3-1 win over Schalke.

Our week starts in Sweden. One of this evening's two top-flight Allsvenskan games brings 15th-placed Helsingborgs to third-placed Hacken. We reckon the lowly visitors could nab a goal to help land a BTTS bet.

BTTS has been the right bet in six of Hacken's first seven home games of the campaign. Despite their lofty position, the Wasps have conceded at least once in all seven matches.

Helsingborgs have been struggling recently, but their problems have primarily been at the back. Going back into last season - when they also finished 15th - they have conceded at least twice on 13/16 road trips. At the other end, they have found the back of the net themselves in 13/16 and - against Hacken's shaky backline - we'll take them to net tonight.
