IFK Göteborg and Västerås SK last met at Västerås, where the home side won 4-5 in a game full of goals, but the two meetings before that both ended in draws. This time both are in the closing stretch of the season, where points start to matter for the standings. Västerås SK sit 6th with 35 points, while IFK Göteborg follow in 9th, just 3 points behind, so this game is a direct measure of who can keep their own rhythm going. IFK Göteborg had just won 4 league games in a row before stumbling to a defeat in their most recent friendly, while Västerås SK have been more up and down, winning two league games before also losing in a warm-up match. The home side look the more comfortable on the ball, averaging 52.2% possession over their last 10 games and creating 5.5 shots on target per game, while Västerås SK hold less of the ball and rely more on counter-attacks. This game should see the home side forced to open up and attack, because they have both the home advantage and the better league form, while Västerås SK will likely sit back and wait for counter-attacks or set pieces. If the home side score first, the game will open up even more and there is a good chance it ends with a clear margin.
