Allsvenskan
The two city rivals have faced off 21 times since the start of the new millennium, with the head-to-head finely balanced — seven draws, five triumphs for GAIS and seven victories for Goteborg over that span.
GAIS team overview
GAIS’s strong charge towards the Euro spots hit a minor bump after they had to fight hard for a late equaliser in a captivating 4-goal stalemate against struggling Varnamo, but their prospects of securing a top-three spot in the Allsvenskan still look bright.
Currently sitting just three points adrift of the final European spot occupied by third-placed Elfsborg, the Mackerels will be eager to return to winning ways as soon as possible, having put together an impressive run of six victories in their last eight league outings.
Back on the comfort of their renowned home turf, Fredrik Holmberg’s side will be aiming to add to their points total, drawing confidence from a strong home record that has seen them lose only once in their first eight matches on this ground.
GAIS take confidence into Monday’s city derby knowing they have no injury or suspension concerns, allowing them to face IFK Goteborg with a full-strength squad.

IFK Goteborg team overview
Meanwhile, IFK Goteborg have been following a zigzag pattern in recent weeks, recording three victories and as many draws, but their most recent Allsvenskan outing saw them roar to a commanding 3-0 triumph over second-from-bottom Degerfors.
Following a stellar display and securing all available points, Anglarna have moved up one place to 7th on the standings with 28 points, putting them only seven points behind the coveted playoff spot that grants access to European competition.
Away from home this season, the team coached by Stefan Billborn stood out by either winning or losing outright in their first nine away games—claiming five success and suffering four defeats—but their meager return of three points from the latest trio of away clashes has sparked some worry.
The fitness of August Erlingmark will be evaluated before Monday’s contest after an early injury against Degerfors, and veteran Gustav Svensson is on standby to replace him.
Additionally, IFK Goteborg will be without David Kruse after he reached his yellow card limit and now faces a one-match suspension, while Arbnor Mucolli continues his lengthy recovery.

Prediction
GAIS are in sensational form and currently rank among the most confident teams in the Allsvenskan, boasting an impressive unbeaten streak of 11 league matches, with seven of those ending in victories, giving them a significant psychological and tactical edge ahead of the city derby. By contrast, IFK Goteborg have struggled defensively, letting in an alarming seven goals over their last three road trips. This defensive instability could prove costly against the Mackerels, who will be confident exploiting these weaknesses, particularly as GAIS’s offense has been red hot, scoring three or more goals in five out of their last seven fixtures. What adds an extra layer of motivation for GAIS is the fact that they’ve won three of their last four home matches against their city rivals at Gamla Ullevi, meaning Fredrik Holmberg’s side have all the tools to secure a full three points and maintain their strong push towards the European spots.
Four Reasons we expect GAIS to Win
- GAIS have remained unbeaten in their last 11 matches on the bounce (W7 D4).
- GAIS have scored exactly three goals in five of their last seven Allsvenskan matches.
- IFK Göteborg have lost and conceded seven goals in two of their last three league away matches.
- GAIS have been victorious in three of their last four encounters against IFK Göteborg at Gamla Ullevi.
