Goteborg holds the longest sustainable
mantra record at the top of Sweden. IFK has been at the top since 1977 and
ranked second after Malmo in the number of Allsvenskan titles they had won.
Varberg only played their fourth season in
a row on Sweden's top flight. Visitors through last year's play-off to ensure
their safety at the top, but in a way that runs, they can go to automatic
degradation this time.
Goteborg has suffered seven defeats this season, but has shown defense stability in the last few matches. Jens Berikel Askou's troops have only conceded three goals in their last four matches.
