SlipsTips takes a look at the Bet Builder market ahead of Sunday's all-Scandinavian affair in the Nations League between Norway and Sweden.
Norway vs Sweden (Sunday, 17:00)
Both Norway and Sweden will be bidding to return to winning ways in the Nations League when the pair do battle in Oslo on Sunday evening.
Stale Solbakken's side saw their two-game winning run ended courtesy of a surprise 0-0 draw with Slovenia on Thursday, although they do still remain top of the section after three rounds of fixtures.
As for the third-placed Swedes, they will be seeking revenge against the Lions, after they lost 2-1 at home in the reverse fixture last week.
I've covered this clash in more detail in a separate match preview but I'm also once again going to side with each team to hit 3+ corners and each team to receive 10+ booking points at 10/11 with SkyBet.
The hosts have proven to be a tough nut to crack on home turf since last September’s international break, having avoided defeat in each of their seven outings, hitting a minimum of three corners in the process.
While Sweden have blown hot and cold in recent times, they have some dangerous attacking players, not to mention they have covered the 3+ flag kick line in each of their last 14 matches, racking up no fewer than 10 in last week’s dust-up between the pair.
With that in mind, coupled with the likelihood of a decent degree of goalmouth action here, three corners apiece doesn't look like too much to ask of two countries who will be fired up by the big occasion.
Given that this is a Scandinavian derby between two old rivals, I’ll round off the selection with each team to receive at least 10 booking points.
Granted, referee Harm Osmers is a standard frequency card issuer – having averaged 3.2 bookings per-game this season – but he should be kept busy here given that there isn't much love lost between these two Nordic neighbours.
What’s more, the aforementioned selection would have paid out in Stockholm last Sunday and I see no reasons to oppose the same wager when the pair reconvene at the Ullevaal Stadion this weekend.
