On Saturday night, Goteborg host Orebro in the Swedish Allsvenskan, as the home side look to move away from the relegation zone.
The home side are currently three points clear of the relegation play-off spot and five points clear of the relegation spots.
They have endured a poor run of form of late, failing to win in five games, while losing four of their last five outings. Last time out in the league, they suffered a 3-1 home defeat against Kalmar.
One of the major factors in Goteborg’s recent poor results is poor defensive displays, as Poya Asbaghi’s side have conceded at least two goals in four of their last five league matches.
A run of six defeats in their last eight home games in the league has not helped their cause either. To make matters worse, the home side have suffered three straight home defeats, while conceding at least two goals in each defeat.
Orebro are currently seventh in the Swedish Allsvenskan, but a win could move them up to fourth-place in the league table.
The visitor’s recent form has been poor, as they have recorded just one win in their last five league outings, suffering three defeats in the process. Their recent league games have been relatively low scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in five of their last seven games.
Orebro has a recent mixed record on their travels in the Swedish Allsvenskan. The visitors have had problems scoring on the road, though having failed to score in five of their last eight games.
Their poor record in front of goal has contributed to five of their last seven away games in the Swedish top-flight producing under 2.5 goals.
Forebet predicts that the visitors will record a victory in a high scoring encounter to leave the home side perilously close to the relegation spots in the Allsvenskan.
