Falkenbergs FF vs Gefle IF Predictions, Betting Tips and Match Previews

This game sees sides at opposing ends of the division meet. Leaders Falkenberg head into it as strong favourites and were the season to end now, there could be two divisions between these sides next term, with Gefle currently on course for a relegation play-off in 14th place.

It is fairly congested down there so they won’t be totally resigning themselves to that but they really need to find some kind of form if they are going to salvage this situation. They come into this game without a win in their last seven, while it’s just 1 victory in 10 matches overall. Therefore it’s very hard to see them causing an upset here.

Falkenberg are setting the pace with an impressive return of 24 points from 11 games so far. They’ve built well on a solid 4th place finish last term and have only suffered one defeat so far this season. Certainly they will be strongly targeting maximum points from this fixture.

It is a game that has the potential to deliver several goals and certainly Gefle will fancy they can get on target. They are pretty good in the final third for a struggling side and all of their last 6 matches have seen both teams score. 73% of their league matches this term have done likewise and they’ve netted in 82% of their games, which suggests they have the firepower to potentially steer themselves to safety.

With an average of 2.09 goals per game, Falkenbergs are the division’s top scorers though and there ought to be several chances for them in this one. Defensively the leaders do have vulnerabilities though and 64% of their league outings this term have also seen both teams net.

Therefore the stats pretty strongly suggest that backing Both Teams to Score is worth considering here. The visitors have shown in several matches they are willing to have a go even when the odds are stacked against them but defensively, it’s very hard to see them coping with a Falkenbergs side that has been scoring for fun.

Going for Falkenbergs & Both Teams to Score also appeals for slightly bigger returns. There is clearly a gulf in class between these sides and that bet is backed up by Gefle losing 4 of their last 6 games, despite scoring in all of them.
