The Allsvenskan league table might not tell the truth so early on, but it's the best truth we have so far. Norrköping and IFK Göteborg are placed 1st and 4th respectively.
There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Allsvenskan game only four days ago.
This stadium uses artifical turf, unlike IFK Göteborg's home stadium. The visitors last 14 games on artifical turf have ended in 3 wins, 4 draws and 7 losses.
Norrköping form and stats
Seven points from three Allsvenskan home games is a great start for Norrköping, who are hoping to build on that form here at Östgötaporten.
The spoils were shared in Norrköping's previous game, also at home. Visiting Elfsborg (placed 6th) travelled back with a draw after a 1-1 scoreline. In the game before, an away victory match versus Östersunds FK with a 4-2 scoreline.
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 Norrköping's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played five games, won three matches, drawn one and lost one.
Goals decide football matches and Norrköping are scoring many of them at home; 6 on target from 3 league matches. From these home matches, Norrköping have conceded only 2 goals.
IFK Göteborg form and stats
IFK Göteborg are still undefeated on their travels in the Allsvenskan. They have only played two games though, winning one and drawing the other.
Impressive finishing secured the home win 1-0 against AIK in their previous game. Preceding that game, the 2-2 draw paying a visit to Sirius.
Late drama in the previous game, when Kristoffer Ødven scored the winning goal two minutes into stoppage time to defeat AIK.
As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Göteborg playing away, we found one game. Results were zero away wins, zero draws and one home win.
The visitors will be packing their bags again in only three days as another away game awaits: The Svenska Cupen trip to Elfsborg.
IFK Göteborg have the goal stats of 4-3 (for/against) from 2 business trips in the league at this early stage of the season.
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Norrköping five wins, three draws and IFK Göteborg two victories. As for goals, six matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), four games had two or less.Top Goalscorers
