Swedish Super Round 25
[11] IFK Gothenburg VS Zogatons[2]
October 29 at 1:00 AM
IFK Gothenburg scored its second two-game winning streak in the league for the second time in the season after a gap of more than three months in the 3-1 away round, and coach Starler said the crucial six points were important to improve the team's situation (12 points ahead of the direct relegation zone). Centre-back Biezmir retired early in the last round of the league, but his injuries were not serious and he made the squad for midweek matches, with strikers Siguessund, Carlsson-Ragmir and midfielder Sebastian Eriksson remaining absent. Centre-back Carl Johansson, who scored two in the previous game, was suspended in midweek.
Zogatons ended a two-game losing streak after beating Kalmar 3-2 at home in the last round and is currently one point behind top Malmö with one less match. Left-back Scheke and midfielder Schürrer returned from suspension, midfielder Finndel was suspended, and defender Tagson remained out of the squad due to injury.
In their last 10 meetings, Zogatons has an unbeaten record of 8 wins and 2 draws, including 4 away wins. IFK Gothenburg has yet to win three straight this season and has yet to win back-to-back at home.
