Goals galore in Gothenburg
Two teams in top form are going up against each other at Gamla Ullevi in Gothenburg on Monday night. No wonder I’m expecting a match heavy on the goals.
IFK Gothenburg
Gothenburg continue to surprise all their critics. Ahead of the Allsvenskan start they were tipped by many to finish well inside the bottom half of the table. Not at all surprising considering their finish last season and how weak they showed themselves to be in the Swedish Cup in preseason.
But since the season started, IFK have impressed. Their young squad is driving them forward and put some important points down on board.
Now is the time to strike while the iron is hot
It’s really been on home turf that they’ve been most impressive and especially in front of goal. They’re facing Hammarby after a goalless draw against title tipped Malmö last Thursday. To take points against Malmö and to be the better side shows just how well it’s going for IFK right now.
Now is the time to strike while the iron is hot, especially considering Hammarby have an defence ravaged by injury. IFK have no injuries to their attacking line to top it all off.
Hammarby
Bajen will show up on Monday night in Gothenburg with an impressive four wins on the bounce and their offensive line firing at will.
In their last match up they smashed Örebro 4-0 despite them being something of a bogie team for Bajen. They showed a ruthless side by continuing to press through the match.
It's difficult to see Hammarby not scoring
If they show up with the right mindset they should be able to create a few worthwhile chances against Gothenburg despite being away from home.
It’s difficult to see Hammarby not scoring at the moment but for them to keep a third successive clean sheet feels a little beyond their capabilities. Their opponents are in great form and will look to exploits injuries in Hammarby’s backline.
With their desire to drive forward their will inevitably be points where they leave space at the back.
IFK Gothenburg - Hammarby betting tip
I’m finding it difficult to pick a winner from this match up. But that’s ok, there’s still value to be had elsewhere.
It seems highly likely that both teams will find the net considering the form they’re both in. On top of that these two have been scoring but conceding as well. It’s easy to see how this match could end 2-2 or even 3-3.
That’s why I’m going for a combo bet of both teams to score and over 2.5 goals with bet365 at odds of 19/20 (1.95).
