Football Bet of the Day: Sirius and Sundsvall to put on a show

Sirius v Sundsvall
Wednesday 18:00

There was a bad outcome for Gorica in Slovenia yesterday, as they slipped deeper into the relegation mire with a 1-2 defeat at home to Rudar. But that final score was good news for us as our goals bet landed.

We bounce into Sweden today hoping for more goals. After eight rounds of the top-flight Allsvenskan, Sirius are 14th in the 16-team table, having conceded a joint-high 15 goals. Their visitors today, Sundsvall, are running 10th overall, but only four teams have scored more than their 12 goals.

Sirius's last two home matches have both brought 2-4 defeats. Since returning to the Allsvenskan in 2017, the Blue Blacks have delivered Over 2.5 Goals in 59% of their appearances at Studenternas IP (20/34). Last season's two meetings with Sundsvall brought 1-3 and 0-4 defeats.

Since Joel Cedergren took charge in 2016, Sundsvall have served up Over 2.5 Goals in 53% of their Allsvenskan away matches (20/38). Since the start of last season, that trend has firmed to 58% (11/19). This term, they are without a clean sheet on the road, but have scored themselves in 3/4. With two shaky defences going head to head this evening, we're backing Over 2.5 Goals at even money.
