On Monday evening, Goteborg host Norrkoping in the Swedish Allsvenskan, as both teams look for some consistency to move up the standings.
Although Goteborg are in seventh place in the league table, they head into this game on the back of four wins in their last six matches in the Allsvenskan.

However, their record of one victory, one draw and one defeat in their previous six games is an inconsistent one. Last time out, they recorded a 2-0 win at Norrkoping in the reverse fixture.The result means that four of their last six games have produced under 2.5 goals.
Goteborg have been difficult to beat on home soil, losing just one of their previous eight home games in the Allsvenskan.
The home side is also four home games unbeaten in the Swedish top-flight, although they have also won just two of their previous five league games on home soil.
The visitors find themselves in 11th place in the table, having taken just 16 points from their last 15 games in the Swedish top-flight.
A recent poor run of form has prevented them from moving up the standings, as Norrkoping has failed to win in their last seven outings in the Allsvenskan, having picked up just three draws and suffered four defeats.
Their recent league games have been low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in their previous five matches in the Allsvenskan.
The fact that Norrkoping has scored just once in their last four league matches has proven to be a contributing factor to those low-scoring games.
Norrkoping has a poor recent away record, winning just two of their last 11 Allsvenskan games on their travels, including failing to win in three away matches in the Swedish top-flight.
Forebet predicts that Goteborg will record a victory in a low-scoring encounter to improve their chances of pushing up into the European spots.
