Halmstad and GIF Sundsvall are both riding high in the Superettan with their 2nd and 3rd positions respectively. Expect a great game!
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
7-6-7 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for GIF Sundsvall when playing away games on grass, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has artifical turf). Their goal statistics from those 20 matches are 31-25 (scored/conceded).
