Monday evening throws up an intriguing contest as the bottom two teams, Goteborg and Varbergs, prepare to clash at Gamla Ullevi.

Both sides have had terrible starts to the Allsvenskan season but this encounter in Gothenburg offers an opportunity to pick up precious points in the battle to avoid the drop from the Swedish top flight.

Football Bet of the Day – Monday 10th July

Goteborg to win and both teams to score (No) @ 6/4

Without a win in their first 13 games of the season, Varbergs are the side in the unenviable position at the bottom of the table on just five points.

Goteborg have not fared much better, with just one win in their first 13 outings, the Comrades are battling to avoid being cut adrift alongside Varbergs.

Having been Swedish champions on 18 previous occasions, this current Goteborg side are a far cry from the teams that dominated in the 80s and 90s.

Despite their shortcomings in the 2023 season so far, Goteborg should have enough quality to come out on top in this crucial encounter on Monday.

The Blues and Whites last meeting with Varbergs came at Paskbergsvallen in August last year, with Goteborg running out 4-0 winners.

A victory as empathic as that looks unlikely but Goteborg might well be capable of picking up the three points while keeping the visitors off the scoreboard at Gamla Ullevi.

A lack of goals has been a real problem for Varbergs this season, as they have only found the back of the net eight times in 13 league outings. No team has scored fewer in the Allsvenskan this season.

Oliver Alfonsi is currently the team’s top goalscorer in the league and the midfielder has only managed two goals in 12 appearances.

With Varbergs being so toothless in attack, Goteborg should be able to keep the visitors quiet on Monday.

Goteborg’s defensive performances have been on the up of late, keeping two clean sheets in their last two outings.

One of those helped produce a shock 1-0 win over frontrunners Malmo on the road and head coach Jens Askou will be hoping for a similar display as Goteborg go in search of just their second victory of the Allsvenskan campaign.

Varbergs looked destined for the drop this season and another defeat on the road in Gothenburg without adding to their goal tally would come as little surprise to those who have watched this side this season.

Goteborg offer good value at 6/4 to win to nil and that’s the way we are going with this latest Football Bet of the Day.
