AFC United fans shouldn't need to make their own entertainment this evening

"Right now, the visitors are winless in five at home and away. Since the start of term they are W0-D2-L4 on the road"

Tobias Gourlay's week begins in Sweden, where he might have found a home bargain to match anything from Ikea

AFC Utd v Ljungskile
Monday 18:00

Take a bow, Kev.

There's not many men who'll put their reputation on their line and back San Marino not to get thrashed in a football match. But that's exactly what Kev did yesterday. It was the right thing to do and he was handsomely rewarded with an odds-against payout - his third win in a row.

We want a piece of the action ourselves now.

The Monday night game in Sweden comes from the bottom half of the second-tier Superettan. Tenth-placed AFC United are W3-D6-L3 overall this season, going W2-D2-L1 at Skytteholms IP.

Only second-placed Ostersunds have beaten them on home turf this season, but the market makes 11th-ranked Ljungskile favourites for this evening's game. That must be a nod to what they did last season (W5-D9-L1 on their travels) rather than anything more recent.

Right now, the visitors are winless in five at home and away. Since the start of term they are W0-D2-L4 on the road, having failed to score in half of those games. We fancy them not to break that duck in Solna this evening.
