GIF Sundsvall hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 20 points and a 14th position in the Allsvenskan table. Visiting Helsingborg holds 10th place with 27 pts.

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

This stadium uses artificial turf, unlike Helsingborg's home stadium. The visitors last 17 games on artificial turf have ended in 4 wins, 6 draws and 7 losses.

It's quite the trip for Helsingborg when visiting GIF Sundsvall as the cities are 900 kilometers apart.

GIF Sundsvall are fighting like crazy to avoid relegation and desperately need points in this fixture. Helsingborg are fighting to avoid relegation and will work hard for points.

GIF Sundsvall form and stats

GIF Sundsvall's struggle is real here at NP3 Arena with only 13 points collected from 14 Allsvenskan games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 3-4-7.

The fans are hoping that GIF Sundsvall will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the Allsvenskan game against AFC Eskilstuna (placed 15th). Before that, GIF Sundsvall drew at home versus Norrköping.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how GIF Sundsvall have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found seven games) they have won 4 times, drawn 1 and lost 2.

The GIF Sundsvall fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 20 in 14 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 25 goals have been conceded.

Helsingborg form and stats

Helsingborg have only collected 6 points from their away games in the Allsvenskan, after 1-3-10 (14 played). A depressing five defeats in a row for Helsingborg in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Falkenberg.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Allsvenskan home defeat versus Häcken with 0-2 on the scoreboard. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Sirius wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.

Helsingborg are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 1 win, 1 draw and 1 defeat. From a total of three matches.

The visitors have scored 8 goals from 14 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. For Helsingborg, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.

Head 2 Head
