Football Bet of the Day: Play away in Sweden

Osters are notably better than a team of 11 John Osters would be

After a successful morning raid on Singapore, Tobias Gourlay turns his attention back to Sweden for this evening's game in the Superettan

Warriors FC 1 Albirex Niigata 3 in the S League earlier today.

The defences parted early - both teams scored within 15 minutes of kick-off - and only one of them ever recovered a semblance of shape. But that matters not to us.

In the Superettan - the second tier of Swedish club football - Assyriska are bottom of the table and winless in eight home games this season. They've lost six of the eight, scoring a meagre five goals.

Azrudin Valentic's men have conceded at least once in every single of those matches (it's 13 in a row if you go back to last season) and Osters look well set up to find ways through the home defence.

The visitors are mid-table overall but have a comfortably top-half away record (W3-D4-L2), keeping clean sheets in three of their last four away from home.

More than that, they've scored twice or more in 6/9 on the road and could have enough firepower to out-blast hosts who have only managed two goals in a single home game once so far this term.
