Prediction
Our assessment is that IFK Göteborg certainly have the ability to fashion enough chances to find the net more than once while possibly not conceding when they play Halmstads BK, who will not find it easy to get a goal of their own.
Therefore, we are anticipating a pretty comfortable 2-0 winning score for IFK Göteborg come full-time.
