OREBRO v GEFLE
Monday 26th September 2016 – Kickoff; 1900hrs
Football – Sweden – Allsvenskan Betting Tips
7th placed Orebro look like they’ll have to make to with a top half finish in the Swedish Allsvenskan in this campaign as they trail third placed AIK Stockholm by a seemingly unsurmountable 12 points ahead of their clash with second from bottom club Gefle on Monday night.
Orebro are the only side to have captured wins in the double figures outside of the top five clubs of the Swedish top flight, and even a few more draws rather than defeats could have seen them making a serious challenge for a Europa League place in this campaign.
Just one win from their last five matches overall indicates their inconsistencies, but at their Behrn Arena they hold a fairly reasonable record of 5-3-3 17/19 and have only lost to a bottom half club once so far at home throughout this whole season, which was a loss to Djurgarden in their opening home match of the term.
Visitors Gefle sit second from bottom in the Swedish top flight for a reason and this is down to the fact that they’ve gone six matches without a win heading into tonight’s clash with Orebro, having recently lost to Djurgarden, AIK and a crushing 1-0 defeat at home to fellow strugglers Jonkopings.
Gefle’s away record stands at a poor 2-1-8 9/23 which includes just one away win from their last ten road trips which was recorded in a 3-2 win at third from bottom outfit Helsingborg, but eight defeats from these last ten away matches indicates their frailties on their travels.
In addition, Gefle have failed to keep a single clean sheet away from home all season, so Orebro appear to be in the driving seat for this encounter.
Pick: Orebro to win @ 1.50 Ladbrokes
