talkSPORT tips – Best football bets and expert advice for Monday 20 July

With the World Cup wrapping up on Sunday, Monday marks a shift in focus back to the club game.

Many of Europe’s major leagues won’t be up and running until August, but there’s plenty of action across the continent for the rest of the month, including summer leagues and European qualifiers.

Two Swedish Allsvenskan clashes headline Monday’s action, and Sweden’s top flight has been good value for goals so far this season.

Bet of the day

Djurgarden to win and both teams to score vs Orgryte – 8/5 

Djurgarden have boosted their hopes of a European finish with back-to-back wins, seeing off Hacken 4-2 before beating bottom-club Halmstad 3-0.

The visitors have won three of their four away trips so far, and they meet an Orgryte side who are second-from-bottom in the Allsvenskan standings.

The hosts were 4-3 winners over Hacken in their last game, but prior to that they had lost five from six in the league.

Orgryte’s six home games have each seen both teams score, with just shy of four goals being scored per match. 

The hosts have been beaten seven times over the course of the campaign, and their underlying numbers back their place in the table.

Djurgarden have won four of their previous six Allsvenskan matches, and they can build on that good return with another high-scoring victory. 

Long shot of the day 

FC Lahti to win 1-0 at IFK Mariehamn – 6/1

Mariehamn sit bottom of the Veikkausliiga after failing to win a game this term, and their eight-match losing streak should be extended on Monday.

Visitors Lahti are unbeaten in four, winning back-to-back games to nil. The visitors aren’t exactly free-flowing on the road, netting only four times in their six away trips this term.

However, Mariehamn have failed to keep a clean sheet this season, while suffering nine defeats in which they failed to score.

Lahti’s matches have tended to be low-scoring, and they should be able to grind out a 1-0 win at a Mariehamn side that has lost three straight home matches without scoring.
