Sweden Monday 9 April

Today the women´s Allsvenska starts and there is much interest in it as Marta, the best player in the world, has returned to Sweden as the US Pro league broke down ahead of this season. marta will play in Tyresö, a team that look really strong and are favourites for the title.

A bit hard to recommend bets in the first round and as William Hill haven´t pur up prices yet I have to go by the rices other bookies have and recommend this banker treble.

Tyresö
Like I said, Tyresö are probably the best team in Sweden and at home with a huge crowd watching them and loads watching on TV they will win big. marta is the queen. Her playing in Sweden is like Messi would play in the men´s Allsvenska. She has scored 111 goals in her 103 games in Sweden earlier.

Umeå
Always dangerous, even they are not as good as when they always won the league. They start the season against newcomers Vittsjö, who everyone believes will be the whipping girls of the Allsvenskan. Umeå will win, but at the end of the season they won´t come top 3.

Ldb Malmö
malmö, who played well in the Champions League reently are a team for top 3 in Allsvenskan. I think they and Linköping will fight it out behind Tyresö. They play away to Jitex in the first round. Jitex are trained by former Evertonian Stefan Rehn by the way. Jitex are decent but not as good as malmö in any way. Malmö should win by a few goals.


Two other Damallsvenkan bets that maybe could be made (but might be better inplay/live)
Linköping
They are strong this season but Kristianstad were really good at home last season and I want to see more before I bet too much.
Piteå
Plays away to AIK and I think Piteå are a team for the top half of allsvenakn, while AIK will be relegated. Ok prices aroud evens.

Banker treble of Malmö, Umeå and Tyresö should be around 11/10 I think.


In the men´s allsvenskan there are 2 games. Göteborg v Norrköping I will stay away from. Norrköping won at home against Helsingborg in the first round while Göteborg lost to Syrianska. After a great first half something went wrong. Will have to get a feeling for this match before betting on it.
But in the other game there is a really good bet IMO.

kalmar v AIK
Kalmar started with a win away to Sundsvall and will take another win today. AIk were outplayed by Njällby at home and were lucky to get a point. AIK seem weak in attack as they don´t have any clear goalscoeer this season IMO. No good forwards at all even, just a bunch of young players or players that haven´t played much in top divisions.
Kalmar at home are always a bet to look at and at 6/5 they are a really good bet today.


Superettan is still in the first round and it is hard to know how strong (or weak) the teama are.
The only possible pregame bets IMo are Hammarby (against a Halmstad side that will struggle to get back to Allsvenskan) and Falkenberg (who should beat a team that I think may be relegated, Umeå). But inplay is the way to go on these fixtures, and with smaller ebts.
