IK Sirius vs GAIS Prediction 13.07.2024

• Competition: Sweden - Allsvenskan
• Date: Saturday, 13th, July 2024
• Kickoff: 16:30 UTC +1 / 17:30 CEST
• Venue: Studenternas IP (Uppsala)

Desperate to get back on track in their top-three pursuit, GAIS travel to Studenternas IP to face IK Sirius on matchday 14 of the Swedish Allsvenskan on Saturday.

Although July started brilliantly for the IK Sirius side as they hammered Norrkoping 5-1 in front of their home crowd, they confirmed their status as one of the most unpredictable Allsvenskan sides in terms of form just five days later, going down in a five-goal thriller to Mjallby on the road. Their fluctuating form in recent weeks, with only one victory in their last five league appearances, has left Blasvart teetering on the edge, holding onto a narrow three-point lead over Kalmar in the relegation playoff spot.

They will be testing their mettle against the newly-promoted GAIS side, who have been one of the pleasant surprises packages in Sweden's top division so far this campaign, currently positioned well to earn a European visa. However, the Mackerels have experienced a slight dip in form in their most recent pair of top-flight outings, taking a meager one point out of six on offer, which has caused them to drift slightly away from the desired European spots, but Frederik Holmber's men remain in the top-three race, sitting just four points behind Mjallby in third with a game in hand.

IK Sirius vs GAIS Betting Tips: DRAW

This is a tough match to call, as both sides have been quite inconsistent and struggle to achieve consistent results, which could ultimately result in them sharing the points in a rather subdued contest. Recently, hosts IK Sirius have struggled to scrape together wins, emerging victorious just once in their last six outings in any format, with half of those matches ending in draws. Interestingly, GAIS recorded their first shared result of the season in the last round, as they failed to break the deadlock (0-0) in a clash against Hammarby, although a total of 12 shots were fired at the target. Furthermore, it's worth noting that the two rivals settled for a share of the spoils in their latest pair of league meetings, resulting in both H2H matches ending in goalless draws. Ultimately, we expect both sides to adopt cautious approaches to avoid further slips in form, and we believe a draw would be a satisfactory outcome for both camps at this juncture.
