talkSPORT betting tips – Best football bets and expert advice for Monday 27 May

Football is beginning to wind down across the continent with the Euros less than three weeks away, but there is still some action and decent bets to be had on Monday.

A key German Bundesliga playoff is top of the bill, but there is also action in Scandinavia and other matches in South America for those who enjoy burning the midnight oil.

Bet of the Day

Over 2.5 goals in AIK vs IFK Gothenburg @ 20/21

AIK were not defeated in their first five games of the Allsvenskan season, but they have lost four of their last five games in the Swedish top flight and there could be plenty of goals in their match against IFK Gothenburg.

They have conceded 21 goals in their ten matches and there have been a whopping 27 in their last ten games, so the chances of there being more than two in this clash look strong.

IFK have won just three of their opening ten games but they have been creating good scoring chances before missing their opportunities, so if they finally find their shooting boots, then over 2.5 goals could be easily eclipsed.

Special of the day 

Union vs Barracas Central Bet Builder – Union or draw double chance, under 2.5 goals & 0-0 at half-time @ 3/1

If the goals are set to flow in Sweden then the Argentinian clash between Union and Barracas Central may tell the opposite story, so a Bet Builder selection on the game should be concentrated on there not being much goalmouth action in the South American clash.

The second half of the Primera campaign is just a couple of games old, but there have been a total of just three goals in both teams’ opening encounters and this looks likely to be a cagey affair.

Union have been defeated in just one of their last six home games, which means that the double chance could hold some value, while a Bet Builder can be completed by banking on there being a goalless first-half, which looks a strong possibility in a game that could take time to catch fire.

Longshot of the day 

Christos Tzolis to score first in Fortuna Dusseldorf vs Bochum @ 5/1

The biggest game of the day is in Germany where 2.Bundesliga side Fortuna Dusseldorf will be looking to claim a place in the top flight and send Bochum in the opposite direction.

Fortuna have put themselves in a great position by winning the away leg 3-0 and with Bochum having no option but to attack, there is a strong chance that they will be able to catch their opponents on the break.

They were the top scorers in the regular second-tier season with 72 goals from their 34 matches, and Greek striker Christos Tzolis, on loan from Championship Norwich, has been the star of the show.

He has netted 22 times this term, including a hat-trick in their final league game against Magdeburg and he looks a good bet at 5/1 to score the first goal of this key encounter.
