IFK Göteborg form and stats
IFK Göteborg have played 8 Allsvenskan games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 2-3-3 (wins-draws-losses).
It's back home for IFK Göteborg, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Österlen away with the result 3-0. H. Aiesh, G. Norlin and R. Söder found the net in that victory.
A strong away win before that one, visiting Malmö FF and winning 3-2.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 six games) they have won two times, drawn two and lost two.
Göteborg are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 11 goals in 8 games. IFK Göteborg have conceded 11 in these home matches.

As mentioned above, Varberg BoIS was the only team on the pitch versus Hvetlanda in their previous game, winning 5-0. This could be a tougher task.
