We stay with the Scandinavian theme for our next preview which features a clash between Goteborg and Kalmar as the betting tips continue in the Swedish Allsvenskan at the Nya Ullevi ground.
Goteborg Prediction – Can Goteborg extend unbeaten run?
6 points currently separates Monday night’s hosts, Goteborg, from 3rd placed Malmo, but this deficit could be slashed in half and down to just 3 points if Goteborg grab the points against bottom half outfit Kalmar at Nya Ullevi this evening.
Goteborg bring a solid looking 8-match unbeaten sequence into this clash which includes wins against GIF Sundsvall 2-1, AFC Eskilstuna 1-0 and a 2-1 win away from home at Helsingborg last time out in the Swedish top flight to stay in the hunt for a top three finish.
The hosts have suffered just 1 defeat on home soil throughout this season to date and hold a stubborn looking home record of 5-4-1 13/4 which has been built upon a solid defensive unit that has kept a total of 6 clean sheets out of the 10 home matches so far this term.
A forward line comprising of leading goalscorer, Soder (8 goals) along with Karlsson-Lagemyr (4 goals), Kharaishvili and Vibe (3 goals apiece) should make life difficult for Kalmar on Monday night.
Kalmar Prediction – Can Kalmar pull away from relegation zone?
Monday night’s visitors, Kalmar, recently ended a dismal 11-match sequence without a win in the Swedish top flight when they registered a seemingly impossible 2-1 win away at high-flying AIK last weekend, so they’ll be confident they can get something from this clash against Goteborg.
Kalmar had previously lost 7 of their 11 matches prior to pulling the proverbial rabbit out of the hat against AIK, but can they repeat these heroics against Goteborg on Monday night? With just 2 away wins out of their last 15 matches on their travels in the Allsvenskan it does seem unlikely, as well as possessing an ordinary away record of 2-3-5 8/13.
The visitors have also failed to score in 4 of their 10 away matches to date and have kept just 1 clean sheet on the road all season, which was gained in a 0-0 stalemate away at third from bottom team, Falkenberg.
Goals have been in short supply for Kalmar throughout this campaign with forward Froling (3 goals) being the visitor’s leading goalscorer to date, and this could hold them back at Goteborg on Monday night.
Key-Facts – Goteborg v Kalmar
- Goteborg are unbeaten in their last 8 matches overall in the Allsvenskan
- Goteborg have kept 6 clean sheets from their 10 home matches to date
- Kalmar have won just 2 of their last 15 away matches in the Allsvenskan
Betting Tips Verdict
Goteborg need to win this one in order to stay in the hunt for a possible top three finish while Kalmar have been disappointing away from home.
