Norrkoping v AFC Eskilstuna - Swedish Allsvenskan - 18:00

Kicking-off this acca I have a couple of handicaps in Sweden, the first being Norrkoping to beat AFC Eskilstuna with a -1 handicap.

The hosts have won their last six home matches—the last five being by two goals or more, and all accompanied by clean sheets—while Eskilstuna are second-bottom of the league, with 10 defeats from their 12 away games.

Norrkoping are used to dishing out hammerings at home, and it’ll surely be no different on Thursday.

Norrkoping -1 - 1pt @ 6/4

Malmo FF v Helsingborg - Swedish Allsvenskan 18:00

Next, I’m backing second-place Malmo to beat mid-table Helsingborg with a -1 handicap.

This is an absolutely must-win for the hosts, who have won nine of their 12 at home, and with three of their last four victories in the league coming by a margin of at least three goals, this looks like a goer.

Helsingborg have a rotten away record – losing eight times and scoring just seven goals, and this has the makings of another miserable trip.  

Malmo -1 - 1pt @ 3/4

Real Sociedad v Alaves - La Liga - 20:00

Finally, I’m backing in-form Real Sociedad to overcome Alaves in Spain.

The Basque outfit have won three of their last four in the league—including a fantastic victory over Atletico Madrid—and they look solid enough to get the better of an Alaves side who have stumbled to back-to-back defeats heading into this.

This one will be nip-and-tuck, but Sociedad should have the tools to beat the league’s joint-lowest scorers on home soil.
