Norrkoping take on the visitors Goteborg in the round 15 match of Swedish Allsvenskan. The match will be played on Monday, July 25th at Platinumcars Arena (Norrkoping).
Norrkoping have become the national champion 15 times. The lion's part was taken in the middle of the last century. But in 2015, it turned out to be a reminder of their ambitions, taking the first such title in 3.5 decades. But it was not possible to develop success - not a single trophy in subsequent years, and only a few times finished in the top 3. Plus, they made it to the cup final in 2017. In the last draw, the "comrades" finished in 7th place. And this, as it turned out, was a good result, at least compared to the intermediate results of the current one. Behind already 14 rounds, and they took only 4 wins and 16 points. Yes, there is no question of the struggle for survival, Helsingborg and Degersfors are simply hopeless. But even from 14th place you can go to the play-offs. For now, Norrköping hangs higher. True, all the successes came in April-May, when the team won all 4 matches. After that, for the past 6 rounds the alternate draws and defeats.

Goteborg have certainly written itself into the history of Swedish football. The representative of this country, which does not apply to the flagships of the "game of millions", won the European Cup twice. True, only the UEFA Cup, and both times the trophy was taken in the 80s of the previous century. Yes, also the “angels” were also national champions 18 times, but the last such success was a decade and a half ago, in 2007. After that, there was only a cup, taken the year before last, and a periodic finish in the leader group. Over the past 5 years, the Allsvenskan grand has not risen above the 7th position at all, and in 2021, for example, they finished 8th. Now, it seems, too, will not be a sharp breakthrough. The team, having started the summer with 2 victories in a row, then lost devastatingly to Hammarby. And in the last round, they did not keep the advantage at home with Melby.
Norrkoping had a 5-match unbeaten streak with 3 wins and 2 draws in head-to-heads. But in December, they managed to lose to Gothenburg at home. Moreover, with a draw, there was a chance to take the lead, but it did not work out to score a penalty. Norrkoping, playing at home, is considered by bookmakers as the favorite in this confrontation. But both clubs are not in the best shape and are unlikely to provide spectacular football. We bet on "under 2.5 goals".
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 scored goals.
