Landskrona BoIS vs Gefle IF Predictions, Betting Tips and Match Previews

Only two months have passed since these sides last met and that resulted in one of the most one-sided games in the entire Superettan season. Landskrona ran out convincing 5-1 winners away to Gefle, a huge confidence boost for the visitors and a result that suggested they were capable of climbing to challenge at the right end of the Swedish second tier.

However that certainly hasn’t materialised. Since that win, Landskrona have taken just a single point from their five Superettan matches to slide down into relegation danger. A 4-1 friendly defeat last weekend suggests things haven’t exactly improved over the summer break and they will be hungry to get off to a fast start here as league action returns.

They find themselves in 12th place now and only outside the relegation play-off places on goal difference. They are two points better off than Gefle, who are in the drop-zone, but all that could change around were the visitors to gain revenge here and claim all the points.

The result markets are probably ones to steer clear of here with neither side in any kind of form. Neither side has won a match since the last meeting between this pair in late May so it may just be a question of who shows up on the day. However there does look to be sense in backing this one to produce goals.

A huge 75% of Landskrona home games this season have produced goals at each end of the pitch. They’ve scored in 88% of those matches so at least one goal for the hosts looks virtually guaranteed here against struggling opposition. However with just 1 clean sheet in their last 10 matches, you can’t rely on their defence to keep things tight.

Gefle matches have also tended to produce goals. Both teams have scored in 67% of their league fixtures this term. They average 1.07 goals per game, which isn’t that bad for a team that is just one place off the bottom of the division and against fellow strugglers, they may opt for a slightly bolder approach than normal with this a rare chance to get a positive result on the road.

All things considered, it should be relatively open and we ought to see both teams create chances in this one. We may not see six goals or such one-sided games this time around but backing Both Teams to Score looks to offer value.
