Sweden: Gefle +210 LOSS
Are my crazy? Gefle have lost ALL their L3 games while Malmo have 2 wins and a draw in the same interval. Malmo seem to be on a roll right now, scoring a whopping 7 goals in their L2 while conceding only one goal. Two things should play to our advantage here:
1) Gefle was shutout in their last home game and each time they've been shutout at home, they've won their next home game by a 2-0 margin. What does that mean? After being shutout at home , they've not only scored in their next home game but have also shutout the visitors.
2) Malmo comes into this game after their biggest win of the season. They beat Elfsborg by a staggering 5-0 margin in their last game. The records show that each time Malmo have scored 3 goals or more in a game, they score no more than one goal in their next game. That trend is also generally common in soccer. Whenever a team scores in one game, about 2 to 3 goals more than their average goals per game, expect a correction in their next game. Malmo are averaging no more than 2 goals per game. After scoring 5 goals in their last game, one expects a scoring correction and a meltdown on their part in today's game.
On the strength of the above points, one expects no less than 2 goals from Gefle and no more than 1 goal from Malmo. So while many bettors will be expecting an easy win for Malmo, my prediction for this game is a 2-0 or 2-1 win for Gefle.
Tail with caution.
