Jens Gustafsson is in his second season in charge, and the club currently sit fifth with 31 points. Their form has been inconsistent - seven draws in 19 rounds.

Total Goals Prediction
HΓ€cken are tight on the road: fewer than four goals have been scored in 6 of their last 7 away league matches. The hosts fit the same picture - GAIS have conceded just four goals at Gamla Ullevi in ten league rounds. Both figures point in the same direction: a high-scoring exchange looks unlikely. The bet is Total Goals - Under 3.5.
β Editorial Prediction
GAIS have scored more than two goals in just one of their last eight Allsvenskan matches. At Gamla Ullevi the scoring has been even more contained: 11 consecutive home matches have all finished within four goals. The visitors have a similar record on the road - fewer than four goals in six of their last seven away league matches. We're not expecting a high-scoring affair here. The bet is Total Goals - Under 3.5. Predicted score: 2-1.
