IFK Göteborg form and stats

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Allsvenskan this season. IFK Göteborg have only managed 2 wins, 5 draws and 7 losses from their games here at Nya Ullevi.

It's back home for Göteborg, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Östersunds FK away with the result 4-0. Sargon Abraham, Alexander Farnerud, Mattias Bjarsmyr and Emil Holm found the net in that victory. The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 1-1 versus Häcken.
