Football Bet of the Day: Goals splurge in Sundsvall

Tobias Gourlay’s on his way to Sweden for what he hopes will be a lively Friday night

Sundsvall v AIK
Friday 18:00

At the time of writing, yesterday’s column is still to play out in China. We’ll update you about the outcome of that one tomorrow. Meantime, onwards we go to Sweden.

In this season’s Allsvenskan, Joel Cedegren’s Sundsvall have delivered Over 2.5 Goals in 4/4 home games. Since Cedergren took charge, 22/38 (58%) of league matches at Idrottsparken have gone the same way. Those are big reasons why we’re happy to make an odds-against bet about another high scorer this evening. The hosts have scored and conceded in all four of those matches and we’re punting on them doing the same against reigning champions AIK.

Rikard Norling’s visitors have conceded six times across their most recent four away games. They have scored five times themselves in just the last two. Going further back, their away games have not generally been high scoring, but that trend is factored into the big price on offer today and we’re happy to take [2.50] about Over 2.5 Goals tonight.
