Linkoping City vs Ljungskile tips and predictions

Result not gauranteed for Ljungskile faithful

If the home side is up for it they could make the odds look silly.

Linkoping City can look at some of the vulnerabilities in Ljungskile's recent results. On the road the visitors have not always been at the races; they've lost 13 of their last 17 away trips. For a team so short in the betting, perhaps they'd be expected to have done better than this.

They don't look like a sure thing.

Linkoping City are going to have to produce a standard of football most people don't think they are capable of. If the hosts are to ground out a win they will need to build on their recent performances. This home squad is putting together some decent passages of play and they're gaining some impetus. They have scored two or more goals in 10 of their recent 18 matches and accolades have also come in for their defence. At the back they've conceded no more than once in 16 of their last 20 home games.

The visitors have lacked firepower in recent engagements. They've been goalless in 12 of their last 19 matches. So the hosts could be coming into this with plenty of conviction if Ljungskile are going to stumble in front of goal.

So, if the home team is to pull off the upset, it is essential that they take their chances. Their finishing has been impressive in some of their recent showings. They will have to have some luck on their side if they're somehow going to deny the visitors.

The betting markets imply that both sides can get in on the act despite the vehement favouritism for Ljungskile. Whatever happens, with the odds-against price on BTTS No, that seems the better option for this particular encounter. Also, if you're interested in the goal line, it's Under 1.5 Goals picked as the best play considering the odds that are available there.
