Rieks believes IFK can leave: “It will be tough for Gothenburg”

Malmö FF vs. IFK Gothenburg at Malmö Stadium is not just a meeting between the two most successful Swedish clubs of all time.

It is also a meeting between the absolute top of the table and a candidate for relegation.

While MFF leads the series with eight points, IFK is two points ahead of Helsingborg in the heats.

Malmö FF midfielder Sören Rieks spent three and a half years at IFK Gothenburg. Now he is preparing to face a team that has changed since Roland Nilsson took over as coach after Poya Asbaghi.

– I haven’t seen so many games after they changed coaches, but from what I understand they have become a bit more stable defensively. An easier way to play, especially when they had Wernbloom as a forward. A little more live football. I’ve also heard they lack a bit of offense, says Rieks, continuing:

– They have good offensive players, but they may have changed their thinking a bit, so they try to make it a little easier without getting any real results.

Waiting for a physical match against IFK Gothenburg

Rieks scored 21 goals in 91 Allsvenskan games for IFK Gothenburg from August 2014 to the end of the 2017 season.

At the time of writing, Rieks has scored 24 goals in 72 Allsvenskan games for Malmö and has a clear idea of ​​what he thinks the opposition awaits in the stadium.

– They certainly come with her physique. They will try to be tough on us in duels.

– Otherwise, I hope we are leading the game and dominating with the ball. Make sure they don’t counter us, as we usually do, says Rieks.

Before the last transfer window, AIK and IFK Gothenburg were two big clubs in crisis that were actually recruiting.

With recruited players like Mikael Lustig, Sotirios Papagiannopoulos and Filip Rogic, AIK has risen from the bottom swamp.

At the same time, despite Mattias Bjärsmyr, Pontus Wernbloom and Sebastian Eriksson, IFK Gothenburg has not improved its position.

Sören Rieks believes IFK Gothenburg is at risk of finishing in a qualifying spot and even dropping out of the 2020 Allsvenskan.

– They can, if they don’t get the results. Helsingborg has probably been unlucky with his results.

– They differ in two points so it is not difficult for them to change places. So it can be difficult for Gothenburg, says Sören Rieks.
