With their 6 point advantage in the league table, IFK Göteborg fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against Helsingborg.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Göteborg and Helsingborg.
IFK Göteborg form and stats
1 victory, 1 draw and 2 defeats. That’s what IFK Göteborg have to build on here at Nya Gamla Ullevi in the Allsvenskan.
The IFK Göteborg crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 1-2 to Djurgården here at Nya Gamla Ullevi in a Allsvenskan match. A strong away win before that one, visiting Elfsborg (after extra-time) and winning 1-0.
Some supporters pointed their nail-bitten fingers at Giorgi Kharaishvili for missing a penalty kick versus Djurgården in the 37th minute. It's possible that a goal in that situation would have changed the outcome.
The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from IFK Göteborg's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played four games, won two matches, drawn one and lost one.
IFK Göteborg are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 4 goals in 4 games. On the other hand, Göteborg have conceded 5 goals.
Helsingborg form and stats
Still no away game victory in the Allsvenskan for Helsingborg with 1 draw and 2 losses from their first 3 attempts.
The supporters enjoyed Helsingborg's previous game versus AIK (placed 11th), a Allsvenskan 2-0 win played at home. Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Djurgården that ended 2-2.
Looking at the earlier recent performances of Helsingborg when being an outsider away as they are today, we find four matches with the visitors losing three times, drawing one and winning zero games.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Helsingborg manager O. Mellberg as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Falkenberg.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Helsingborg as they have only managed to score 2 times from 3 away games in the league. For Helsingborg, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): IFK Göteborg nine wins, one draw and Helsingborg zero victories. As for goals, eight matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), two games had two or less.Top Goalscorers
