Football Bet of the Day: Lightning to strike in Finland

AC Oulu v MuSa
Thursday 16:30

There was double delight for us around the world yesterday. First at lunchtime, when the Beijing derby finished 2-1 to Guoan and landed our BTTS bet. Then in the small hours, when Toronto FC beat New York Red Bulls 3-1 to hit our Over 3.0 Goals target.

We're keeping more regular hours in Finland today. There are two games from the second-tier Ykkonen league and we fancy a BTTS bet on one of them.

Fifth-placed AC Oulu started the season with a run of seven clean sheets in nine games at home and away. Since then, they've loosened up a bit and have conceded at least once in each of their last five. The last two Ykkonen matches at Raatti Stadium have finished 3-3 and 2-2.

Newly promoted this season, Risto Puustinen's MuSa are third in the 10-team table, despite having conceded more goals than all bar two other teams. On the road, the Lightning have shipped 15 goals in seven games. However, they have scored 12 themselves, including eight in their most recent three away from home. Both teams have scored in 6/7, including each of the last five, and that's our bet for today.
