Predictions & Betting Tips

Tight game likely with GAIS the slight favourites

This Saturday’s Allsvenskan 2025 game between IFK Norrköping and GAIS should be a fascinating matchup between two very different footballing philosophies. The home side will set up to play a possession-based game with a patient build-up from the back, with a midfield focus and width in the final third. The IFK Norrkoping vs GAIS preview shows that GAIS will sit deep and attempt to frustrate the hosts before hitting them on the counter attack. Fredrik Holmberg’s side have been extremely solid since he took over in November 2021, turning the club into a counter-attacking team with a solid backline. Sebastian Jørgensen has been a useful addition up front, having scored two of Norrköping’s last five goals in a purple patch of form. Our IFK Norrkoping vs GAIS prediction takes into account the impact of key players on both sides, like Christoffer Nyman who has been Norrköping’s best player in Allsvenskan 2025, with six goals in nine appearances topping the club’s scoring charts. No player has been more in form than Ibrahim Diabate, with the GAIS striker having netted five goals in his side’s last 5 games.

Recent history on the line

This fixture has a recent history which GAIS may have to overcome to get the points on Saturday, with Norrköping having won the last three meetings including a 3-0 victory in the away leg of this fixture in the Svenska Cupen 2024/2025 just two months ago. For this IFK Norrkoping vs GAIS prediction, it is important to note that Martin Falk has only been Norrköping’s head coach since January 2025, so is still finding his feet with the team. A win, two draws and two defeats in their last five league games has been a mixed bag of results, but one thing is for sure – Norrköping have been inconsistent at home in 2025, failing to win any of their last three at PlatinumCars Arena (D1, L2).

GAIS in great form

GAIS have two wins, two draws and only one defeat from their most recent Allsvenskan 2025 games (W2, D2, L1) with recent results including a 3-1 away win over Halmstads BK, 1-1 away draw at Östers IF and a 2-1 home win versus Sirius. Holmberg has tweaked his team to make them extremely difficult to break down and the results have picked up as a result. With just one point separating these sides in the Allsvenskan 2025 table and Norrkoping’s home form not convincing, the draw or GAIS market at 1.53 looks to offer the most value here. For those considering IFK Norrkoping vs GAIS betting tips, GAIS have one win, four draws and one defeat from their six Allsvenskan 2025 away games, a run which suggests they could avoid defeat on Saturday.
