High flying Gothenburg to keep streak up?
Although all major European leagues are on a summer hiatus there is still value to be found elsewhere, Sweden being a perfect example! Örebro travel to Gothenburg attempting to ground the high-flying Göteborg but will they succeed?
Göteborg
Gothenburg's biggest team are on quite the streak at the moment not having lost a game in 8 outings but the most impressive part about that is the fact that Göteborg faced big guns Malmö, Norrköping, Hammarby and AIK within that streak and came away with 8 points which is highly impressive considering that they played against the best teams Sweden has to offer.
Coach Poya Asbaghi was spared by Göreborg's board after nearly being relegated last season and has shown why he was given renewed confidence. The west coast team are now playing attractive, attacking football and seem to be scoring for the fun of it but also seem to have a very robust defence given that they managed to keep the high-scoring likes of Hammarby, Malmö and AIK off the scoresheet altogether.
Göteborg will be buoyed by their recent derby win at Häcken and will be brimming with confidence ahead of this home clash.
Örebro
Axel Kjäll's men should be very frustrated with their recent rollercoaster form and will need to find some sort of consistency if they want to avoid a relegation scrap come the end of the season.
Wins against last years champions AIK and somewhat recent Europa League contenders Östersund show that Örebro possess the quality, the problem is that they don't possess that quality often enough. They perform well against the top teams but flop against the bottom ones, perfect examples being their most recent defeat to Sirius as well as their loss to rockbottom Falkenberg.
With the likes of former Moscow striker Carlos Strandberg and young talented winger Jake Larsson Örebro really do have some quality players in their midst but finding consistency will be key.
IFK Gothenburg - Örebro Betting tip
Despite the quality in Örebro's team i cannot see them travelling to the in-form Gothenburg team and causing them any major issues which is why i am backing a Göteborg win at 23/50 with Bethard.
A good bet for all you thrill seekers out there is Göteborg to win and both teams to score at 41/10.
