IFK Göteborg come into the game on the back of a 3-1 defeat at Elfsborg last weekend. Having conceded an early goal but scored the equaliser in the 35th minute, IFK Göteborg conceded a second goal just before half time.Elfsborg sealed maximum points with a third goal 10 minutes into the second half.
That result means IFK Göteborg have failed to win any of their last 6 matches in the Allsvenskan.
They have picked up only 2 points from those 6 games, with 1-1 draws at home against Djurgården and Varberg. There have been defeats at Malmö, AIK, and Elfsborg plus at home to Kalmar.
Home form in the league shows IFK Göteborg have failed to win any of their 3 most recent fixtures at Nya Ullevi.
However, IFK Göteborg have not been easy to beat in recent home games and they are undefeated in 4 of their last 5 on home soil. Trends show both teams have scored in each of IFK Göteborg’s 4 most recent home league matches.
GIF Sundsvall make the trip to Nya Ullevi having previously beat Mjällby 2-0 at home in the Allsvenskan.
Both goals were scored in the second half and it was a crucial win for GIF Sundsvall, who had previously won only 1 match in the league this season.
Prior to the victory over Mjällby, GIF Sundsvall were on a run of 4 straight defeats in the league. There were losses at Elfsborg and Norrköping plus defeats at home against AIK and Degerfors. In fact, GIF Sundsvall have lost 7 of their 9 Allsvenskan games this season.
Away form in the league shows GIF Sundsvall have lost all 4 of their matches on the road. Going back to the last time they were in the Swedish topflight, they have won only 1 of their last 20 away Allsvenskan matches.
Trends show a poor streak of 3 consecutive away defeats by 2 or more goals has been recorded in Allsvenskan by GIF Sundsvall.
Looking ahead to the team news and IFK Göteborg will be without injured midfielder Sebastian Eriksson. Experienced striker Marcus Berg will play in attack.
GIF Sundsvall will be without midfielder Andreas Andersson who has a ligament injury. Saku Ylätupa has 4 goals to his name this season and is the main goal threat for the away team.
Both sides have been struggling of late but this game gives IFK Göteborg the chance to get back to winning ways.
GIF Sundsvall struggle when playing away and although they may find the back of the net, we expect IFK Göteborg to come out on top, with over 2.5 goals in total.
