Prediction
Our assessment is that IFK Göteborg and IFK Norrköping could both well score more than once here although it’s hard to see a clear-cut winner.
There shouldn’t be much in it, and a high-scoring draw looks to be quite a realistic result. We therefore see a really entertaining tussle with a draw at the end of this one.
