Gefle form and stats

Gefle have only collected 7 points from their away games in the Ettan: North, after 2-1-4 (7 played). Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Gefle's last three away games as they have all been lost.

The visiting Gefle have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 8 goals from 7 games. Gefle's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 11 goals from these trips.
