Back Under 2.5 Goals @ 1.9720/21 in GAIS v Osters

Tobias Gourlay goes fishing for a low-scoring game in Scandinavia this evening

GAIS v Osters
Monday 18:00


Fortune favours the brave. Though Kev would be keen to point out that careful analysis and a deep understanding of Icelandic football might also have had something to do with it. Either way, Breidablik's 4-2 win was a big odds-against winner that puts him into the heady realm of annual profit for 2017. Go put your feet up, son.

We're hoping for a quieter start to our week. In Sweden's second-tier Superettan this season, five of GAIS's six matches at Gamla Ullevi have finished with Under 2.5 Goals. In total, there have been just seven strikes across the six matches, with the 11th-placed Mackerels notching just four times themselves, while landing three clean sheets.

Tonight's visitors are Osters. Thomas Askebrand's men have scored in each of their first seven road games of the campaign, but four of those matches still finished with Under 2.5 Goals. In fact, dismiss a couple of 4-1 defeats at top-four sides - in which they conceded three before half-time - and Osters have seen 4/5 stay Under 2.5 Goals against the rest of the league. Against mid-table GAIS this evening, we're backing another low scorer.
