Sirius vs GIF Sundsvall Predictions, Betting Tips and Match Previews

This game marks the resumption of the Allsvenskan although with Sweden still in the World Cup and playing earlier in the day, it’s hard to see this one getting much attention. It’s not exactly a glamour fixture in any case with Sirius propping up the division while GIF Sundsvall lie in mid-table.

Sirius fans have had very little to cheer this term. They are already 6 points off a position of definite safety and would probably have been grateful for the break to regroup and start to plan their escape act. With only one win all season, it will require some turnaround but they did come 7th last term and they should be able to become a bit more competitive at the very least.

It’s difficult to know what to make of GIF Sundsvall. Of their 10 games so far, 7 have been at home, so they’ve had a real advantage in that sense and they might be vulnerable to slipping down towards the relegation scrap as a sequence of 4 away fixtures in the space of 5 games commences here. Certainly were they to lose here, you’d worry for them and they have picked up just a solitary point on their travels this term so far.

This match sees the side with the worst home record take on the team with the 3rd worst away record so it’s not an easy one to call and you couldn’t confidently back either side for the win. However goals do very much look like they could be the order of the day and this could still be a very decent watch from a neutral perspective.

Sirius home games this season average a huge 3.8 goals per game in total. 60% of them have produced over 2.5 goals and even though they sits at the very foot of the table, they have managed to score in 80% of their home games. They also netted twice in a friendly win against current leaders Hammarby last week so they will take confidence from that and will fancy they can ask questions of this GIF Sundsvall defence.

It is a back-line that has yet to keep an away clean sheet this season. 67% of their away games and 60% of their matches overall have produced over 2.5 goals so their stats also support the theory that this will be pretty open. Their only previous away game against struggling opponents ended in a 2-2 draw at Dalkurd, the side level with Sirius on just 5 points at the foot of the table.

It would be no surprise to see a repeat here and backing Over 2.5 Goals could be the best move in this one.
