Football Bet of the Day: There's Norr way this game will be dull

Norrkoping v Hammarby
Tuesday April 26, 17:30

Seeing as we're celebrating Old Bill Shakespeare's 400th birthday, it seems apt that there was something rotten in the state of Denmark last night. Superliga top scorers Aalborg contributed to a goalless draw at Randers, and our evening became a tragedy rather than a comedy. I bite my thumb at both teams.

We'll make the short hop to Sweden now, home of beautiful people and ugly prices. I once paid £3 for a Twix in Stockholm. We'll try to make that money back and more by backing goals tonight in Norrkoping v Hammarby.

Both teams have been scoring plenty of goals in the opening weeks of the Allsvenskan campaign. Norrkoping are fourth in the standings after three wins and two defeats, and those five outings have featured a combined total of 20 goals. All five games would've seen an Over 2.5 Goals bet land.

Hammarby have seen their five games feature 19 goals between them, and three of those matches have featured three goals or more. They are yet to draw a blank, and yet to keep a clean sheet.

So in the ten league games these two have played this season, eight have contained three goals or more, and none of them have featured fewer than two goals. It's also worth noting that goals have been a feature of Norrkoping's games at their Ostgotaporten ground for some time. If you stretch back into last season, you see that 14 of their last 16 home games in the league have featured three goals or more, including the last ten.
