3% Rotation #207441: Swedish Allsvenskan: Thursday 3% OVER 3 -135 in Elfsborg vs Norrkoping @ 1 ET - The over 3 is available as an Asian Total option which, for example, at DraftKings you select Spread/Total and then Asian Total and you will see this available. This option is offered at other sportsbooks as well. Having 3 as a push rather than a loss is a big edge though I am expecting 4 or more goals here. Looking for a 3-1 type battle. Elfsborg is at home and favored by 1.5 goals on the goal line with good reason. Elfsborg is allowing 1.5 goals per match this season but also scoring 2.5 goals per match when on their home pitch! Norrkoping consistently allows an average of 2 goals per match but also is scoring 1.3 goals per match. 5 of the last 6 meetings between these clubs have totaled at least 3 goals and those 6 matches averaged 4 goals apiece! Norrkoping is off a 1-1 draw but this followed 4 straight matches totaling at least 3 goals. Elfsborg just recently was eliminated in Europa League Qualifying which renews focus here in their league action. Prior to a 1-0 win in most recent match, 7 of their last 8 matches in Swedish Allsvenskan action totaled at least 3 goals. Look for this one to do so as well. Each of the last 6 meetings between these clubs have seen both teams score and both clubs have a low draw rate this season. In other words, 2-1 a logical minimum result but obviously I am expecting a 3-1 or 3-2 final given all of the above. Nice to have 3 as a push rather than a loss however and we will go with that Asian Total option in this one just in case it lands on exactly 3 goals. 3% OVER 3 -135 in Elfsborg
