GAIS - Kalmar Sweden - Allsvenskan Prediction

GAIS - Kalmar
24.05 17:00
GAIS squad is playing worse in every round, which brought them to the low 14th position in the standings. This team has only 9 points out of first 10 rounds, which is really a catastrophic record. However, I have to admit that nobody expected anything better from them, as their performances have been identical in every season. In the past three years, they always played bad, fought for survival in the league until the very end and always somehow managed to avoid relegation. Their fans are afraid this could be the year when their squad could return to Superettan but believe in themselves saying “The hopes dies last!”. After two consecutive home defeats, they’re awaiting last year’s champs – Kalmar squad. Judging by their current form, GAIS squad should be very satisfied even by winning a point in this match.
Improving champs
Last year’s champs, Kalmar, have started this season on a pretty bad note, but are slowly returning back to life and are getting better and better. Firstly, the celebrated over Goeteborg in Super cup by 1:0 winning that title, just to start the season unexpectedly poor. In the first 5 rounds, they only won one point, managing to drop out of the national cup at the same time, a competition where they played in the finals last season. Their fans and the board got scared that there won’t be a chance for defending the league title. But, their squad awoke and recorded 4 wins and only 1 loss in the following 5 rounds, with a 10:4 goal difference. The only loss was against league leaders Goeteborg, who defeated them at their home ground by 2:1. Kalmar are now in a very good form and I’m convinced they will keep it that way after this round too. Their players stated GAIS are a very unpleasant squad and that a match against them has to be taken seriously,. Nevertheless, they know they’re able to use all their mistakes and record that important win. Kalmar would get back to the top of the table by winning in this game, and will surely not gamble with such a great opportunity.
Kalmar are one class above
Visiting Kalmar possess a team that’s at least one class above their rivals and probably the biggest relegation candidate this year, GAIS, in terms of quality, GAIS have been on the bottom of the league for years, and always managed to survive but such luck won’t last forever. Kalmar are playing very good and I’m convinced they will get a win at this road game against very bad GAIS, at the same time making the hosts’ life even more complicated. The odds are still great and worth taking for medium-high stakes.
Tip: Kalmar, Odds 2.4;
