Punting this early in the season can be very tough — costs are inviting, but with so many unknowns and no form novel to fall back , there are tons of nasty surprises lurking into scupper your acca.
I’ve gone to get a Russo-Swedish treble; the Russian Premier League remains in its infancy, although the Swedish top-tier is well underway.
Beginning in Russia, I have Rostov beating Krylya Sovetov.
Rostov are unbeaten in their opening four (winning two )–scoring at least 2 goals in each game–and I’m confident they will beat a Krylya side who have dropped three of their opening four, despite only playing the one game away.
My initial pick that is Swedish is Gothenburg ousting Falkenbergs.
The home side are pushing for a European location, and only 1 defeat in their final 16 suggests they are well in their way; 2 home wins on the spin also sees them head into Monday’s clash in good form.
Falkenbergs, on the other hand, possess a dreadful away record, earning just two points from their eight to the road (conceding 10 in their past two).
I expect a more comfortable home win.
Finally I’ve a biggie, Orebro to beat Kalmar from home, priced at a enormous 13/5.
Kalmar, who are in massive relegation threat, have dropped five of their last six games (the one exception being a 2-2 draw in the home in which the opponents had been down to ten men for half an hour), and if no longer be favourites because of it.
Orebro are a strong mid-table side having a strong away record — winning four of the last six on the road (the two defeats at that time coming against top-five teams). Concerning value, this is a terrific pick.
