Göteborg will be looking to continue their strong start to the Swedish top flight campaign when they play host to GAIS on Monday evening.
After finishing just one place above the bottom three in each of their last two league campaigns, the hosts entered the 2025 season with high ambitions and things are moving in the right direction. Stefan Billborn's side have taken nine points from their five league games so far this term, a run that has seen them move into the top six. One of those victories came in midweek away to Norrkoping, where they came from two goals down to win 3:2.
GAIS, meanwhile, were impressive on their return to the Swedish top flight last season, finishing in the top half of the table, but their start to the new campaign has been less impressive. Fredrik Jakob Holmberg's side have won just one of their five matches so far this season, failing to score twice and boast just one clean sheet.
IFK Göteborg vs GAIS Betting Tips: Under 2.5 goals
GAIS may have won just one of their five games so far, but they are not giving away too many goals. In fact, the visitors have conceded less than a goal in each of their five meetings so far, and the same number of games have ended with less than 2.5 goals scored.
Recent encounters between Goteborg and GAIS also failed to provide much entertainment, with at least one team failing to score in three of the last five. Four of those games ended with under two goals and I expect a similar scenario on Monday.
- Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals
- IFK Göteborg vs GAIS prediction: 1-1

IFK Göteborg team news
Having seen his side concede two goals in 45 minutes against Noorkoping in midweek - for the second game in a row - head coach Stefan Billborn is expected to make some changes to his backline.
Defenders Thomas Santos and Jonas Bager are among those hoping to benefit from a potential reshuffle.

GAIS team news
GAIS came out of the clash with IF Brommapojkarna in midweek without registering any free injuries, but head coach Fredrik Jakob Holmberg is expected to make changes to his XI.
Having been withdrawn at the start of the second half in that game, Kevin Holmén and Chovanie Amatkarijo are among those who could drop to the bench this weekend.
