GIF Sundsvall

LDWLWL

GIF Sundsvall will be wanting a better result here following a 1-0 Superettan losing effort in their last game against Utsiktens BK.

Filip Trpcevski (10') was the scorer for Utsiktens BK.

It’s been a rare occasion in recent times that GIF Sundsvall have shown defensive steel. In fact, GIF Sundsvall have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 matches, letting in 8 goals on the way. We will see if that trend can be continued on into this next match.

A look at their previous results shows us that GIF Sundsvall:

• have not registered a win against Varbergs BoIS in their last 2 league matches.
• are undefeated in their previous 4 league matches at home.

Varbergs BoIS

LDLLWL

After tasting defeat last time out to Örebro SK in Superettan action, Varbergs BoIS will be aiming to make amends here.

The only name on the scoresheet from Varbergs BoIS was Marc Tokich (56'). Mohammed Saeid (45', 75') and Kalle Holmberg (82') scored for Örebro SK.

The numbers tell their own story, and Varbergs BoIS have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, with opponents netting 11 goals in all. At the back, Varbergs BoIS just haven’t been too solid at all.

Going into this one, Varbergs BoIS are without a win away from home in their last 8 league games. Who knows how long it might last, too.
