This could be an interesting match as GAIS have their presumed home advantage while Halmstad are ahead 13 points in the Superettan table.
There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Svenska Cupen game only four days ago. That game was also an away game, at Hässleholms IF. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
GAIS form and stats
The story so far in the Superettan for GAIS, who have the fewest conceded goals (6) at home in Superettan, at their home stadium (Gamla Ullevi) is 5 wins, 4 draws and 1 defeat. It’s been three wins in a row for GAIS here at Gamla Ullevi, hoping to make this one the fourth consecutive victory.
Happy days for GAIS in their previous game, a Superettan match away at Ljungskile (placed 16th) that ended with a 2-1 victory. A strong away win before that one, visiting Örgryte and winning 2-0.
The GAIS fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 11 in 10 matches. It's worth mentioning that 6 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. GAIS have only conceded 6 from their league home games.

Halmstad form and stats
The visitors, who have the fewest conceded goals (14) in Superettan, are W5-D4-L1 on the road this term. That's in the Superettan.
Two travels in a row for Halmstad, whose manager M. Haglund could celebrate last time after the Svenska Cupen win against Hässleholms IF. A 0-1 defeat away at Jönköpings Södra before that.
As you can tell from the results above, Halmstad was very dominant against Hässleholms IF, winning the match with a scoreline that even the finest fortune teller couldn't predict. 5-1 (!) with A. Bengtsson, S. Kroon, S. Lundevall (2) and K. Sadat providing the goals.
Halmstad have scored 14 goals on their travels this season, from 10 away games in the league. The Halmstad defense is a tough nut to crack, having conceded less than half a goal per away game on average (5 goals in 10 games).
