Bandy in Sweden 21/1

[Per]

I'm having a look at the games tonigth and several bets look interesting - unfortunantely primarily handicap bets, and that limits the use to Nordicbet and Unibet customers :?

But I'll post these in an hour or two.

Tonight's games then

Edsbyn-Västerås
Top game and anything can happen. Västerås has their key player Fosshaug suspended, Edsbyn hasn't been outstanding this year but they're still very solid. Overall I think this will be a close game, no idea who, if any, will win. But these two teams are solid and they will not let up much at all - so a reasonably low-scoring game to me.
Nordicbet offers 1,75 for UNDER 9,5 goals and that's something I back immediately.

Falun-Vänersborg
Another close game between two teams qualitywise a short step behind the top three. Falun's got the gaol machine Sergei Obuchov and Vänersborg has got three free-scoring Finns.
This game as well can end up either way but with the possibility of more goals, so a small bet on OVER 8,5 goals with Nordicbet, Centrebet could do well. Price is not extremely exciting but still a decent 1,75.

Not much to add about Hammarby and Sandviken, both are very likely winners and make a double of them. Neither team has any more room to slip up so I fully expect wins for both teams.
Handiicaps don't feel right for these matches.

Boltic-Motala
Both games between these two ended in draws earlier this season, for now Boltic looks good to save the contract while Motala is in grave danger of a relegation play-off but anything can happen.
Boltic has got a few injuries, but they have been in control in both games before just to see the lead cut in the final minutes. Motala has equalised within the final 3 minutes in both draws. A probable Boltic win despite injuries to some players but what I think could be useful is the handicap: Motala (+2,5) @1,65 is hardly a great valuebet but toss in Hammarby or SAIK and you've got a decent double on a 2-goal cushion for a team in desperate need of a point or two. Keep it small though.

Vetlanda-Katrineholm OVER 8,5 goals with Centrebet is worth a small shot, again with SAIK or Hammarby, to make a double as the price is just 1,65. Both these teams have good scoring capabilities and Katrineholm's defence isn't much to ask for. Still they've got a good form going now and looks likely to retain their top flight status, at least for now.
Likely home win but above all plenty of goals.

My general suggestion is a favourite double of Hammarby and Sandviken.
For Nordicbet customers under 9,5 goals between Edsbyn and Västerås, as well as a small piece on Motala's handicap.
For Centrebet clients use the price on Vetlanda-Katrineholm OVER 8,5 goals.

Good previews, Per. I made a double with the under-bet (Edsbyn-VSK) and Hammarby. Total odds 1.96...

[Per]

The double with Hammarby and Sandviken was as solid as they come :D
The big price on UNDER 9,5 goals for Edsbyn-Västerås was also good, best bet of the round.

Vetlanda-KSK missed the spread by a single goal, 6-2 and Boltic overdid themselves - several younger players stepped up and everybody did a great job demolishing Motala 9-2! 8O Still far from the handicap bet but Boltic's my team :D

And finally Falun covered the goal line all by themselves in a 10-4 win.

A good day for Bandy :D

Yes, great picks, Per. You forgot to write about the game between Ljusdal and Sirius, but that's ok. I took Sirius +4.5. :D

Even though you don't see much interest about this league, be sure that I read your previews!
