Football – Sweden – Allsvenskan Betting Tips
The action continues in the Swedish top flight on Thursday night and the big match this evening sees 6th placed Ostersunds taking on Allsvenskan league leaders, AIK as the betting tips continue.
Let’s take a look at Ostersunds first, and the club have proved there is life after Graham Potter as the inspirational former coach left to take over at Championship side Swansea City, as they sit in 6th place and four points adrift of Malmo. However, they come into this clash having lost their last two on the trot.
Ostersunds had earlier put together a four-match winning streak with wins over Sirius, Brommapojkarna, Djurgarden and Dalkurd, but recent back-to-back defeats to Hacken and Norrkoping (both away from home) have almost certainly dashed their hopes of another Europa League campaign.
Nevertheless, Ostersunds will be keen to return to their Jämtkraft Arena tonight where they possess a 8-0-5 25/15 record, and their goal threats come from midfielders Edwards (7 goals) and Hopcutt (5 goals) along with forward Islamovic (7 goals).
AIK currently possess a slender one point margin at the top of the Allsvenskan over 2nd placed Norrkoping ahead of their trip to Ostersunds, but they’ll be hoping they can open up a bit of daylight between themselves and their title rivals with a win this evening.
The visitors are unbeaten in their last six overall, a run that includes three wins against Hammarby, IFK Goteborg and Dalkurd, but three recent draws on the bounce have slowed AIK down in recent times as they could only muster single points against Orebro, Djurgarden and Malmo in 1-1, 0-0 and 1-1 stalemates respectively.
AIK hold a pretty solid record away from home which stands at 7-5-1 20/8 with their one defeat on the road so far being a 2-0 loss away at title rivals Norrkoping. The visitors have failed to score in just 3 of their 13 away matches to date and with goalscoring midfield pair, Elyounoussi (7 goals) and Olsson (5 goals) along with striker Stefanelli (6 goals), AIK will always carry a goal threat.
My betting tips therefore suggest backing both teams to score here at good odds.
Pick: Both teams to score @ 1.95 Comeon
