Football Bet of the Day: Don't expect Swedish stalemate

Hosts to continue steady climb

Norrby v Sundsvall
Tuesday 22 September, 18:00

Milan and Zlatan Ibrahimovic did their bit for us last night, but Bologna squandered some good chances in a 2-0 defeat, which means we got the Milan part right but not the BTTS.

We'll switch our attention to Sweden now, because there's an impending battle between second-tier sides Norrby and Sundsvall. It might not sound exciting, but we might be able to grab an odds-against winner.

Sundsvall, who count Crystal Palace legend (disclaimer: may not be a true legend) Tomas Brolin and RB Leipzig schemer Emil Forsberg among their alumni, and having a serious wobble. They have lost their last five league games, and have been beaten three times in a row on their travels. They have leaked 11 goals in that spell, but they have at least scored in four of those five outings. Indeed, both teams have scored in 14 of their 18 Superettan matches.

Norrby were really struggling until recently, but they have come alive, losing just one of their last five games. At their Boras Arena, they are chasing a third win, after successes against Orgryte and Vasteras. They have scored in eight of their last nine games in the second tier, and a BTTS bet has landed in 11 of their 18 league matches.

I fancy Norrby to avoid defeat here, given Sundsvall's struggles, and we can back Norrby/Draw in the Double Chance market in conjunction with a BTTS bet on the Same Game Multi to give us a price of 2.26/5.
