Falkenbergs vs AIK
Sunday 14:00

Sunday afternoon's action comes from the Swedish Allsvenskan as Falkenbergs host AIK.

After winning the Superettan last year this is Falkenbergs' first season in the top flight of Swedish football and although they have not been hugely impressive so far they are certainly holding their own and currently sit in eleventh place.

They are managed by legendary Swedish striker Henrik Larsson and oddly it seems that his best work seems to be with the defensive side of the game as Falkenbergs have one of the stingiest defences, especially at home where they are unbeaten in four.

However at the other end of the pitch they are massively lacking firepower, they are the lowest scorers in the league and are averaging under a goal a game. Their lack of goals has hampered them recently, they are on a disappointing run of four games without a win.

AIK were the closest challengers to Malmo last year and look like they mean business again this season, they are five points behind the champions and leaders.

They haven't made the trip to the shores of the Kattegat to face Falkenbergs since 2005 so it will be an unfamiliar challenge but they have been looking strong on their travels recently scoring at least two in their last nine away games.

They are in fine form, unbeaten in nine and having scored ten goals in their last three matches in the Allsvenskan. 

They have goalscorers throughout the team, strike pair Eero Markanen and Nabil Bahoui have both grabbed six already and Costa Rican midfielder Celso Borges is back from the World Cup to add an extra dimension.

A disappointing first leg loss to Northern Irish side Lingfield ion Thursday will have angered manager Andreas Alm and expect his team to be fired up for Sunday.

Palmeiras vs Cruzeiro
Sunday 20:00

Sunday night's Betfair Live Video game takes us to Sao Paulo as Palmeiras welcome the champions Cruzeiro to the Allianz Parque.

After a year in the second division Palmeiras are back in the big time and with ten games gone in the season they hold twelfth spot but with an alarming lack of goals they look likely to struggle. 

They sold last season's top scorer Alan Kardec to city rivals Sao Paulo FC and his loss is apparent, with no goals in their last three games and with only eight goals scored all season they have relied way too much on their defence so far.

Last week the board made the necessary changes early. Argentinean Ricardo Gareca was brought in and in turn he recruited countrymen striker Pablo Mouche to hopefully boost the team's goal threat. Mouche could well make his debut on Sunday.

Cruzeiro are a well oiled machine, they took the league title back to Belo Horizonte last year and are leading the way again this time.

The 'Raposa' have already lost two of their away fixtures so can be vulnerable on their travels but are in good form at the moment having won their last three.

Ricardo Goulart is leading the goal scoring charts in the Campeonato with six and his strike partner Marcelo Moreno is just one behind, that pair will be hard to stop and expect them to make the difference on Sunday.

Recommended Bets
Back Cruzeiro to win @ 2.546/4
Back HT/FT Draw/Cruzeiro @ 65/1
