Betting guide: Malmö FF favourite to beat GIF Sundsvall at Swedbank Stadion

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.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting GIF Sundsvall have a different surface at their stadium (artificial turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 6-5-6 (win-draw-loss) from 17 matches. It's quite the trip for GIF Sundsvall when visiting Malmö FF as the cities are 900 kilometers apart.
