GOTHENBORG v OSTERSUNDS
Monday 26th September 2016 – Kickoff: 1900hrs
Football – Sweden – Allsvenskan Betting Tips
Fourth placed Gothenborg registered a useful 3-2 home win over Orebro on Thursday night to maintain their challenge for a Europa League spot but they know they must keep winning in order to try and reduce the eight-point lead that third placed AIK Stockholm currently hold over them.
Tonight’s match represents another ‘must-win’ game for the hosts as they entertain mid-table Ostersunds, and with an impressive home record that currently stands at 8-2-1 20/11 under their belts heading into this clash, Gothenborg stand more than a reasonable chance of claiming all three points here.
Gothenborg are unbeaten in their last eight at their Nya Gamla Ullevi ground and indeed have won their last six matches on the trot on home soil, racking up a total of 15 goals for and conceding just 5 in reply during this excellent run of form.
Visitors Ostersunds have their home form at their Jämtkraft Arena to thank for their current mid-table position as they’ve won 7 of their 12 matches there so far in this campaign, while their away form has been less convincing and has held them back from making an impression upon the top half of the Swedish top flight.
An away record of 2-4-5 12/22 perhaps doesn’t appear to be too bad upon first glance, but Ostersunds have registered just one away win from their last nine matches on the road which was a 3-0 win at 12th placed Jonkopings.
Four defeats from their last six on their travels tells its own story with defeats at GIF Sundsvall, Elfsborg, Hacken and Kalmar and they’ve kept just two clean sheets away from home all season so far.
Pick: Gothenborg AH-0.25 @ 1.53 Unibet
