Allsvenskan in the contest
• Monday, August 7, 2023
• Start-off: 1 / 19 00 CEST + 1800 UTC
• Platinumcars Arena( Norrköping ) is the location.

Norrkoping finished in the top half of the league over the previous eight times, actually taking home the championship in 2015. They finished 12th last year, which was a crisis, but this year they made significant progress and are now fifth with 25 details from 17 games. They are also 13 items away from the third-place finish for the upcoming season in Malmo and Europe.

Goteborg, IFK are the biggest disappointment of the season. An 18-time Swedish champion has been only a mid-table team in recent few years, but this season is a disaster as they are in 15th place, only two points more from the worst team in the league, Varberg. 

Norrkoping vs Goteborg, IFK pick: Norrkoping to win

After getting off to a great start and only losing once in the first eight sessions, Norrkoping struggled between the middle of May and mid-July. However, it appears that they prevailed, winning six game in a row. They will then face one of the worst road teams this season, giving them the ideal chance to reclaim the successful track. ,

Goteborg, IFK finally won a game in the previous round after failing to do so ten times in a row. That win (2:0) was against Kalmar, but looking at the statistics, Kalmar deserved at least a draw. According to xG statistics, Kalmar should have scored 1.29 goals and Goteborg, IFK only 0.57. There are some improvements at Goteborg, IFK’s side in the previous games, at least result-wise, but considering their awful road stats, we do not trust them to get a positive result in this game. Currently, they won only four points in eight matches and are also the only team in Allsvenskan without a road win.

This year, these teams had two meetings, both in Goteborg. In the Cup, we witnessed Norrkoping’s 1:1 pick and 4:0 victory.
