Friday’s Football Tips: Malmo are deadly Sirius about getting back on track in Sweden’s top flight

SCANDINAVIAN football takes centre stage again today and Swedish leaders Malmo will be looking to bounce back from a rare defeat when they visit Sirius.

The champions crashed to a 2-1 loss last weekend at Mjallby and that has left them just four points ahead of Djurgardens. having played a game more.

That loss ended a seven-game unbeaten run so Malmo will be looking to get back on track away to a Sirius side who sit down in ninth place.

The leaders are heavy favourites but Sirius won't be overawed and they are unbeaten in their last four at home, winning the last two.

Sirius v Malmo Top Betting Tips

Sirius have been involved in some crackers of late, with 15 goals scored in their last three games. It has been a similar story for Malmo, with BTTS and over 2.5 goals landing in their last four.

That bodes well for an entertaining game tonight but over 2.5 goals pays just 4/9 at Betfred, with the odds only increasing to 8/11 if you add BTTS. So you need to go to over 3.5 strikes to get into odd-against territory at 6/5.

The goalscorer markets offer better value and Malmo's 11-goal hitman Isaac Kiese Thelin is evens to add to his tally. Sirius striker Yousef Salech is also on nine goals for the season and he's a tempting 7/4.

Bodo/Glimt v Odds BK Top Tips

The leaders are also in action tonight in Norway, with Bodo/Glimt looking to move seven points clear with a win over struggling Odds BK.

Only Sandefjord are keeping Odds BK off the foot of the table but things are so tight at the bottom that a win tonight would lift them up to 12th.

The bookies can't see it happening though and Odds BK are whopping 12/1 outsiders, with Bodo/Glimt 1/7 hot favourites.

The strugglers can take heart from the fact the champions crashed to a shock 2-1 defeat at Sandefjord last time out, but Bodo/Glimt battered Brann 5-1 in their last home game.

A repeat of that is more likely and a Bodo/Glimt win with BTTS appeals at 23/20, given they've conceded in their last three and Odds BK have scored in their last five.

Midfielder Partick Berg has four goals from his last three games so looks decent value at 21/10 for another strike tonight.

AGF Aarhus v Midtjylland Top Tips

The Danish top flight gets back underway tonight and champions Midtjylland have a tricky opener on the road at AGF Aarhus.

These sides faced off four times last term and Midtjylland went unbeaten as they won three of those games. But they were all close and none of the victories was by more than a one-goal margin.

That makes the half-time draw appealing tonight and it pays 23/20. Both teams have some key players out injured, including Midtjylland's star striker Gue-song Cho. But they have signed Polish international Adam Buksa and he's 21/10 at Bet365 to get off the mark.
