Final Verdict

IFK Goteborg lead the H2H ledger, but Mjallby AIF carry stronger current form — do not let history alone dictate your assessment.

Draw probability of 25% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Mjallby AIF if the outright odds are short. The opposing side holds a 31% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

On the goals line, Poisson's 2.96 combined xG gives a 57% probability to Over 2.5 — reasonable, supported by form averaging 3.2 goals per game.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 59%. Form rates corroborate: Mjallby AIF 90% | IFK Goteborg 70% BTTS from recent games.

The outsider holds a 31% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should not be treated as one. Proportionate stakes are appropriate given the genuine contest the data projects.
