IFK Goteborg vs Malmo FF Predictions

Although most of the big leagues around Europe are either packed up for the summer or just playing out their final few fixtures, in Sweden they are just getting started. This weekend sees two sides who are at the top of the table and are hoping to still be competing for the title when the season reaches its conclusion, as IFK Göteborg welcome Malmo FF to Nya Ullevi.

IFK Göteborg have started the season well and they have already managed to put 16 points on the board, a return which is good enough to ensure they occupy third place in the Allsvenskan. The hosts go into this match full of confidence as they have managed to win there last three matches, but what is more impressive is the fact that they are relentless in front of goal. IFK Göteborg have scored nine times on home soil this season, and given that there has only been three home matches so far, they average an impressive three goals per game.

Their opposition this Thursday is a Malmo FF side who have been every bit as impressive as their hosts and they go into this match at the top of the Allsvenskan with 17 points on the board. The visitors have also been excellent in front of goal and the 16 goals they have scored this season means that they have averaged two goals in every game they have played.

Both of these sides have been excellent in front of goal and it should come as no surprise that we expect that to continue. When you consider that both teams have scored in five of the last six meetings between these two sides, and they have both seen both teams score in 75% of their games this season, we think backing them both to find the back of the net is the way to go in this clash.

We are not done there though, as the amount of goals these two sides have scored in the build up to this match is something which is hard to ignore. Therefore, if you want to chase something which returns higher odds, we believe that backing there to be over 3.5 goals in this clash is an excellent opportunity to do so.
