GIF Sundsvall vs Sirius Betting Tips and Odds

Bet365 have the following odds available for this match:

Sundsvall are at 2/1 to win, a draw is at 9/4, and a Sirius win is at 11/8.

The right bet here is to go with Sirius, as they are much, much higher in the table.  They have been decent away from home as well, and their opponents are struggling toward the bottom of the table and have just one home win.  That should bode well for Sirius.

A 0-1 win for Sirius here could get you 7/1 odds here, but it looks fairly likely as Sundsvall have only registered eight goals all season long so far.  That gives them little hope of scoring against one of the league's better sides here.

GIF Sundsvall vs Sirius Prediction

Sirius will continue their hopes of Europa League by achieving victory away from home in a narrow fashion in this tie.

Correct Score Prediction: GIF Sundsvall 0-1 Sirius IK

Team News

Joel Cedergren has injuries to center back Filip Tagtstrom, defensive midfielder Erik Granat, and forward Samuel Aziz.  Center back Carlos Garcia and center midfielder David Batanero remain ineligible to play a role.

Key Man

28 year old Swedish striker Linus Hallenius looks to be the one true threat in this Sundsvall side currently.  He has just two goals so far, but he does lead the team in that regard after his goal last time out that gave them some hope of victory.  He'll once again be needed if they want to get a huge win to relieve some of their worries.

Team Form

Sundsvall have three losses, a win, and a draw in their last five matches.  They drew 0-0 at home to Jonkoping before winning 0-2 away to Orebro.  They followed that with a 0-4 home loss to IFK Goteborg and a 3-0 away loss to Kalmarr.  Last Saturday, they lost 3-1 away against Ostersunds FK.

GIF Sundsvall Predicted Starting Line-up

Expected Line-up: 3-4-3

Team News

Kim Bergstrand has a very lengthy injury list. Center backs Daniel Jari and Johan Eiswohld, center midfielder Christer Gustafsson, wingers Andres Eriksson, Karvan Ahmadi, and Stefano Vecchia, and forward Ante Bjorkebaum are all out.

Key Man

Nigerian striker Moses Ogbu, a 26 year old veteran of sorts by now, has five goals and three assists so far this season for Sirius.  One of those goals came last week as he equalized for his side to help them get a victory in the end.  The number 90 is definitely the man to help them climb up the table with victory here.

Team Form

Sirius have two wins, a loss, and two draws in their last five matches.  They won 4-1 at home to Elfsborg before drawing 0-0 at Ostersunds and 1-1 at home to Hammarby.  They then lost 2-1 away to Orebro before winning last weekend over Halmstads 2-1 at home.

Sirius Predicted Starting Line-up

Expected Line-up: 4-3-3

Sundsvall have a three point gap over the relegation zone at the moment, but that gap can be gone in the blink of an eye with the right result elsewhere and a loss here. That looks likely since they are facing a very good Sirius side in this match. Sirius have fallen off the pace a little bit in terms of fighting for the title and European qualification, but they could get back on track in this match against a side that is struggling a little right now.

Sundsvall come into this match having earned five points out of a possible 15 from home matches.
