Player to watch: Isaac Thelin
Isaac Thelin was the top-scorer in the Allsvenskan with 16 goals last season. He has picked up where he left off, scoring six times in the current campaign.
The former Anderlecht player has more direct goal involvements than every other player in the Allsvenskan. He has also been a thorn in Goteborg's flesh, scoring in the last three competitive clashes between these teams. Thelin will fancy his chances of extending that streak to four matches.
