IK Sirius vs IFK Goteborg Prediction 20.07.2025 | Allsvenskan

• Competition: Sweden - Allsvenskan
• Date: Sunday, 20th, July 2025
• Kickoff: 13:00 UK / 14:00 CEST
• Venue: Studenternas IP (Uppsala)

Goteborg will aim to solidify their spot in the top half of the table when they visit struggling IK Sirius at Studenternas IP on Sunday in Allsvenskan’s matchweek 16.

Despite the general belief that this would be a walk in the park for the table-toppers, IK Sirius put up a spirited fight and gave Mjallby a real headache, but their brave effort wasn’t enough to avoid a 2-1 setback that now sees them clinging to 13th position with the same points tally as the side currently occupying the first relegation spot.

Even though they seemed to have finally found their familiar rhythm, Goteborg failed to build on their upward momentum after squandering an early lead to suffer a 2-1 home defeat against Elfsborg, which widened the gap to European places to a daunting ten points.

IK Sirius vs IFK Goteborg Betting Tips : BTTS - YES

This will be a tough match to call since both sides have struggled to find consistent form in their recent outings and the result could swing either way, but with both teams entering on equal footing, we expect an exciting battle at Studenternas IP where goals will flow at both ends. IK Sirius certainly hasn't lacked firepower in front of goal as they scored with ease, but persistent defensive lapses have prevented them from presenting themselves in a better light this term since they've allowed at least two goals in six of their last seven Allsvenskan outings, which clearly points to where their biggest weakness lies. IFK Goteborg face identical challenges as their Sunday opponents, as they too have found it difficult to keep rivals at bay, recording a meager total of three shutouts in 15 league matches to date, so reinforcing their defense is essential if they are to preserve their slim chances in Europe. Moreover, recent meetings between these two sides have served up entertaining football, including their first clash where IFK Goteborg stormed to a commanding 3-1 victory, so we fully expect the crowd in Uppsala to be treated to another lively showdown between two backlines that have consistently struggled to keep their shape and contain opposition threats.
