Kalmar FF vs GIF Sundsvall Predictions, Betting Tips and Match Previews

This match features two sides who seem more than good enough to stay in the Allsvenskan but may fall short of making a serious challenge for Europe. Kalmar in 6th might have that on their minds but like GIF Sundsvall, they will be trying to bounce back from a defeat here and it is the hosts that are the favourites to pick up the win.

Since the summer break Kalmar have won on the road but lost at home, with Djurgarden emerging from their trip to the Guldfågeln Arena with all the points last weekend. That result perhaps highlighted that Kalmar don’t have the quality to really go toe to toe with the very top sides but they should find the opposition here a bit easier to get at.

GIF Sundsvall have played three games since returning from the summer break and  have collected three points over that period. They will be a bit disappointed with that return though having won their first match away to bottom club Sirius before suffering back to back defeats to nil. Their most recent away game saw them beaten heavily by a 3-0 margin at mid-table Hacken and a repeat level of performance here will almost certainly see them beaten again.

That win at a very poor Sirius team aside, Sundsvall have been poor travellers this term. They’ve taken just 1 point from their other 4 away league games and have conceded 2.2 goals per game on average away from home. They have played reasonably well going forward at times but an inability to keep things tight has been very much their undoing.

Kalmar will certainly see this as a game where they could potentially claim all the points. They’ve a 50% home win ratio this term, losing just once in front of their own fans. They’ve had a pretty tough set of home fixtures too, having already faced 3 of the 5 sides above them as well as defending champions Malmo at the Guldfågeln Arena.

Easier challenges lie ahead and this you’d have to say is one of them. Up against a Sundsvall side that is bidding to avoid a third straight loss, backing Kalmar to Win could be the best move.

There isn’t a great deal to choose between them overall though so a one goal victory may be the most likely outcome and going for a 2-1 Kalmar Win appeals in the Correct Score market.
