Football Bet of the Day: Swedish showdown should entertain

• Goteborg leaking goals

• Mjallby have made strong start

• BTTS a value shout at 1.9210/11

IFK Goteborg v Mjallby
Tuesday 21 May, 18:00

A push to start the week, as our boys Albacete led at Villarreal last night, but had to settle for a 2-2 draw. We'll take the money and run to Sweden, because IFK Goteborg are facing Mjallby, and I fancy we'll see some goals.

IFK barely stayed up last season, finishing 13th of 16 teams, and they've only won two of their nine games in the league this term. They have only managed two clean sheets, but they have at least scored in six of their nine matches. It's quite the fall from grace for a team that won ten league titles between 1982 to 1996.

Mjallby have twice won the second-division title in the 21st century, and two seasons ago they reached the final of the Swedish Cup. AIF have made a strong start to the Allsvenskan season, winning five of their nine games in the league and losing just two. If they win or draw this game in hand, they'll move up to third in the standings.

I fancy backing Both Teams To Score here at 1.9210/11. That's paid out in six of Mjallby's nine games, while IFK's leaky defence (they have conceded seven goals in the last three games alone) suggests it could be a lively encounter.
