Season ticket holders at Nya Ullevi haven’t seen too many victories this season, with IFK Göteborg languishing in the 12th position so far. The guesting Hammarby will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
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!
Hammarby play their home games on artifical turf, while this game is played on grass. Recent stats for Hammarby when playing on grass are 7 wins, 6 draws and 10 defeats from 23 matches. They have scored 29 goals and conceded 35 times in these games.
IFK Göteborg form and stats
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Allsvenskan this season. IFK Göteborg have only managed 1 win, 4 draws and 4 losses from their games here at Nya Ullevi. The home team are struggling everywhere these days as they haven't won a league-game, regardless of being the home or the away team, in 13 attempts.
IFK Göteborg travelled for their previous game, a trip to Mjällby that ended 1-1. Preceding that game was the away draw at Djurgården that finished 2-2.
A painful moment in the game against Mjällby was the missed penalty kick from Tobias Sana in the 71st minute. A goal there would obviously have changed the match and probably the outcome.
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Göteborg have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found nine matches with the results: Won two, drawn three and lost four.
The manager P. Asbaghi will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Falkenberg in only three days.
