IFK Göteborg are welcoming Varberg BoIS for another important game after their 0-0 result against 3rd-placed Elfsborg.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

IFK Göteborg form and stats

IFK Göteborg's results here at Nya Ullevi in the Allsvenskan have been very modest with 1 victory, 4 draws and 6 defeats. With eight home Allsvenskan games in a row without a win, the IFK Göteborg fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the AIK game long ago, can be stopped today.

Göteborg drew their last game, 0-0 away at Elfsborg (placed 3rd). Preceding that match was a defeat to Kalmar (1-2).

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 IFK Göteborg have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found five games) they have won one time, drawn two and lost two.

The Göteborg fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 11 in 11 matches. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Göteborg with 22 goals conceded in these matches.

Varberg BoIS form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Varberg BoIS so far with only 9 points returning home. The records show 2-3-5 (win-draw-lose).

Varberg BoIS are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is one win, one draw and two defeats. From a total of four matches.

Varberg BoIS are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 15 times in 10 away games so far. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Varberg have conceded 18 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
