Struggling IFK Göteborg will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Norrköping in the upcoming league round. It’s 11th vs 4th and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

Norrköping form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team, who have the most scored goals (32) in Allsvenskan, on their Allsvenskan travels is 2 wins, 2 draws and 3 defeats. Recent form does not give Norrköping much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. IFK Göteborg will be a tough nut to crack. Norrköping seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

Norrköping failed to get anything from their last game, a Allsvenskan home match vs Hammarby (placed 6th) that ended with defeat 1-2. Preceding that game, the 2-3 loss visiting Helsingborg's place.

Norrköping were so close to getting something from the game against Hammarby, but ended up with egg all over their face after conceding the deciding goal five minutes into overtime.
