Football Bet of the Day: FK that, say Swedish defences

Patriot Games: In Sweden goals are a source of national pride

Tobias Gourlay has been beaten up in Scandinavia and is turning to the Black and Blues for some help

Ostersunds FK v Sirius
Tuesday 18:20

Landskrona 2 Degerfors 0 in Sweden yesterday.

A goal short for our purposes. And that'll be what's really stopping Degerfors from sleeping tonight. Not that they lost and are now just a couple of places clear of the relegation zone, but that they failed to nail a consolation that would have meant so much to us. 

Just as we looked to the skies in despair, we spotted Sirius. Up the other end of the Superettan, the fifth-placed Black and Blues are enjoying a fine campaign. Only promoted last year, they've put together the best away record in the league (W6-D2-L2), scoring more road goals (19) than anyone else and hitting the back of the net at least once in 8/10.

And all of this while keeping only one clean sheet themselves.

Next up they visit fourth-placed Ostersunds FK, who have scored in 10/10 at the Jamtkraft Arena this term and seen goals at both ends in 19/25 there under current boss Graham Potter (that's right, York City fans).

May they both reach for the stars this evening.
