Varnamo welcome IFK Goteborg to Finnvedsvallen for an Allsvenskan matchday 13 fixture on Sunday. The hosts are coming off a 2-2 draw against Hammarby in a friendly last week.

They were two goals down by the 39th minute courtesy of Jusef Erabi's brace. Frank Junior Adjei halved the deficit in the 41st minute while Kenan Bilalovic drew the game level in injury time.

Varnamo will turn their focus back to the league scene where their last game came in a 2-1 defeat at home to Mjallby.

Goteborg, meanwhile, claimed a 1-0 victory over Norrkoping in a friendly a fortnight ago. Laurs Skjellerup's goal in the opening seconds of the game proved to be the difference between the two sides.

Blåvitt's last league game saw them claim maximum points with a 1-0 home win over Elfsborg.

The victory left them in 13th spot in the table, having garnered 14 points from 12 games. Varnamo are one spot higher in the standings, although they are level on points with their visitors.

Varnamo vs IFK Goteborg Prediction

Both sides are just three points above the relegation zone, making this a relegation six-pointer. The majority of Varnamo's points this season have come in recent weeks, having won and drawn two of their last six league games.

Goteborg, for their part, have won two of their last three games. However, they have lost the last two head-to-head games and a third loss would leave them in danger of dropping into the bottom three.

We are backing the two sides to cancel each other out in a high-scoring stalemate.
