Mjallby vs IFK Norrkoping Predictions

• Mjallby have conceded in all their clashes with the top nine
• Midtable Norrkoping haven’t won away to any side outside the bottom four this term
• The visitors have shipped 13 goals in six clashes with top half teams

Both sides have bully records

On the face of it, this has been an up-and-down season for these two mid-table Allsvenskan sides. However, the pair – placed eighth and seventh respectively in the table – have both simply taken advantage of the league’s struggling sides.

So far this term, Mjallby have claimed 14 of their 19 points against the bottom six, while Norrkoping have claimed all three of their away wins to date against the bottom four.

The hosts too have built off a strong home record against the weaker teams, claiming all but one of their nine home points against the bottom five. They’ve struggled above them, losing four of six clashes with the sides above them.

Struggles to cancel out

While Norrkoping have impressed at the league’s bottom sides, they’ve taken one point and conceded seven goals from three away games outside of that. Mjallby too have struggled defensively, failing to keep a clean sheet against the top nine.

Back both sides to concede in this clash, with their opposition exactly the kind of opponent that they’ve struggled against this term. Given their inability to win tougher games, look to the sides to share the spoils, with Mjallby having drawn three of seven home games to date.
