Sundsvall – Goteborg

lasse vibe goteborg goalGIF Sundsvall will take on Allsvenskan leaders IFK Goteborg in an important match for both sides.

The home team was always expected to struggle this season and they are not surpassing the expectations – Sundsvall is on the 13th place and has not won in the last 5 matches. Additionally, the hosts have lost 6 of their last 9 matches, so their form is really bad. They will hope that the 1 month break of the Allsvenskan will help them, but taking points away from Goteborg will be a huge task.

Goteborg is on the first place and is actually starting to put some points between them and the likes of Malmo or Elfsborg. In a season where Malmo was expected to dominate, Goteborg emerged as the best team in the league so far. They made some smart investments in the summer and brought in players of brilliant quality for the Allsvenskan level, like Rogne (Wigan), Eriksson (Cagliari) and the list can go on. The main reason for Goteborg’s success so far has been its defense and its consistency – they managed to avoid upsets so far, home or away, the only one being a 0-0 against Gefle.

Team news: Goteborg have all their regulars available with the exception of Thomas Rogne, who will be again unavailable. Sundsvall have a few fitness issues but nothing new or major.

The visitors were able to do the job almost everytime against inferior opposition, they are not an upset-prone team this season and I reckon that they will continue in the same style, at least for the time being. Look for Goteborg to be extremely motivated, as Malmo lost against Norrkoping on Saturday, so Goteborg can get a strong grip on the first place with three points here – that surely adds an extra incentive for the visitors.

Look for a simple and mature performance from Goteborg, they are the much better team and have everything it takes to win this. They will probably keep a clean sheet again and convert one or two of their chances over the 90 minutes. My tip is Goteborg to win and I will invest moderately high stakes on this bet. Prediction: GIF Sundsvall – IFK Goteborg 0-2.

  1. damn it i ve played this game 1x from yesterday in combo with sao paulo. and now i ve saw your prediction. 🙂

    • well, the way my football tips went lately, you should be confident 🙂

      Just kidding. I layed out the arguments and I think Goteborg will win. If you have your own arguments, no point in getting anxious. I believe Goteborg gets the three points, but may the best man win.

  2. i ve had luck at goteborg and i ve lost sao paulo…in the end we both lost it.

    • this was the last thing I would have expected, Goteborg two blow a 2 goal lead. the way they played this season, I don’t know if anybody saw that coming. but sundsvall deserved the draw, I don`t think you were lucky. sorry to hear about your accumulator.
