Tuesday Football Tips: Back a big Swedish derby delight for Umea

Team TG v Umea
Tuesday May 31
Kick-off 18:00 BST

It's the calm before the Nations League storm on Tuesday, but one game that did stand out while trawling through the lesser-known leagues is one at the bottom of the Swedish Divison 1 North.

What stands out here, for all the wrong reasons, is Team TG FF, who host a derby game against Umea FC - who they share a stadium with.

Team Thorengruppen, as they're also known, and having a shocker start to the season losing all nine of their games so far and conceding three goals a game.

They're bottom of the table and already 10 points from safety, so although they say form goes out of the window in derby games, this form is just too bad to ignore.

Umea aren't exactly great this season, winning just three of nine, but two of those have come on the road and this really should be a tap-in for them to get a result.

As such, they're short-priced favourites, but we can squeeze some value in here with a Bet Builder double starting with backing Umea/Umea in the half-time/full-time market.

Team TG have been behind at the break in seven of their nine games this season, while Umea have led in two of their four away games at half-time.

To that we'll add Umea to win with a -1 handicap given just how porous their stadium mates have been so far this term.

Two of Umea's three wins this season have been by two goals or more, while six of Team TG's nine defeats have been by at least a couple of goals.

When they concede they often go to pieces, and if they're down at the break, they're highly unlikely to fight back.

This looks like being a welcome derby boost for Umea as they look to bounce right back up and get promoted after being relegated into Division 1 last season.
