After suffering a loss against Kalmar FF by a score of 2-0 in their previous Allsvenskan match, IFK Goteborg will be looking to avoid a situation similar to the one that occurred in their previous match here. IFK Goteborg have not been victorious in either of their last two league matches played before this fixture.
Recent matches against IFK Goteborg have frequently been high-scoring affairs that are sure to have spectators on the edge of their seats.
Malmö
Malmo comes into this matchup on the heels of a victory in their most recent Allsvenskan encounter, which they won 1-2 against IF Brommapojkarna.
Malmo FF have not suffered a defeat in either of their previous two league matches this season, which brings them into this matchup with a perfect record.
Malmö FF has allowed only four goals in their last six games, thanks in large part to their solid defensive play. During the same time frame, their forwards have accounted for 10 goals. The continuation of that tendency is what we hope to determine.
Possible Lineups
IFK Göteborg - Pontus Dahlberg(GK), Emil Salomonsson, Sebastian Hausner, Johan Bangsbo, Oscar Wendt, Sebastian Ohlsson, E. K. Hagen, Adam Carlén, Eman Markovic, Marcus Berg, Gustaf Norlin.
Malmo FF - Johan Dahlin(GK), Anton Tinnerholm, Derek Cornelius, Busanello, Taha Abdi Ali, Sergio Peña, Anders Christiansen, Hugo Larsson, Stefano Vecchia, Isaac Kiese Thelin, Sebastian Nanasi.
Expert Betting Tips
Malmo has gotten off to a great start this season, winning both of their league openers, but IFK Gothenburg has struggled mightily to this point, dropping both of their opening games. Malmo has been undefeated up to this point, but IFK Gothenburg has pulled off several upsets in the past, including a 2:1 victory here in Gothenburg in their most recent meeting.
In light of the fact that Malmo is currently playing at an extremely high level and has triumphed in five of the most recent seven matchups between the two clubs, they have earned their status as the betting favorites for this match.
It is reasonable to anticipate that both teams will find the back of the net during this matchup, as the head-to-head stats between the two clubs show that there were at least 2.5 goals scored in five of the most recent seven contests between them. In addition, in each of Malmo's last six away league games, over 2.5 goals were scored, whereas in four of IFK Gothenburg's last six home Allsvenskan matches, over 2.5 goals were scored. We have the impression that IFK Goteborg are capable of scoring at least one goal against this Malmo side, but our feeling tells us that it most likely won't be enough for them to win.
