Football Bet of the Day: Osters are imposters in Sweden

Syrianska FC v Osters
Wednesday 18:00

At the time of writing, Urawa Red Diamonds are yet to launch themselves at Kashima Antlers, so yesterday's bet is still a live one. Kick-off is 11:30 BST if you're getting here before then.

If you're arriving later than that, this evening's game from Sweden's Superettan has also caught our eye. Osters are bottom of the 16-team league, having won just once across the first 16 rounds of the season. They were better last season, when they finished eighth, and that's perhaps why they're starting as favourites to take all three points away from Syrianska FC today.

Syrianska are newly promoted and have hardly been pulling up trees at this higher level but, at the prices, we're willing to back them to earn something from tonight's encounter. The hosts are W2-D1-L4 at Sodertalje Fotbollsarena so far, but the defeats have come against teams now in 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 8th.

Osters have been performing nowhere near that level. They've lost three in a row at home and away and are now W1-D8-L7 for the season. On the road, they are W1-D2-L4. Back Syrianska +0 & +0.5 on the Asian Handicap and you will win in full if they win. If the match is drawn, you will win on half your stake and the other half will be returned.
