Trelleborgs vs GIF Sundsvall Predictions, Betting Tips and Match Previews

This is a big game for Trelleborg who have slipped into the Allsvenskan relegation zone. They will see home fixtures against mid-table sides as the sort they need to win if they are to stay afloat this term but it is still GIF Sundsvall who are the clear favourites heading into this match.

Their form isn’t stunning but they have been getting results on a fairly consistent basis and they’ve shown they can mix it with the top teams in recent weeks. They come into this following 1-1 draws against two top five sides. They are perhaps still slightly short of the quality needed to push for Europe but against weak opponents here, they ought to fancy this and they’ve taken 7 points from their last 4 away in the league, so there’s no reason why they can’t bag all the points here.

They will certainly take encouragement from Trelleborg’s recent form. They’ve taken just 1 point from their last 6 matches in the Allsvenskan. They have had a few tricky fixtures of late and come into this following back-to-back defeats against title-challenging Hammarby.

However we are over half way through the season now and increasingly you have to say the league table doesn’t lie. Only a pretty poor Dalkurd side is beneath them and they simply haven’t been getting enough results at home. A huge 75% of their home league fixtures this term have ended in defeat and that simply can’t continue if they are to stand a chance of beating the drop. With that kind of record, there looks to be value in backing solid Sundsvall to Win here and further their push for European football.

We should see both teams get on the scoresheet though. 7 of Trelleborg’s last 8 matches have seen goals at each end and the same goes for 69% of their league matches overall this season. 57% of Sundsvall away games have also seen both teams score and this has the feel of a game that should be pretty open, largely because a draw doesn’t really suit either team. Sundsvall are in a safe position but only wins are going to see them push for Europe, while draws at home are unlikely to be enough to save Trelleborg now so both teams ought to employ fairly positive tactics in this match.

Given that, backing Both Teams to Score looks like a solid punt.
