GIF Sundsvall has never been worse than now. You have to go back to the mid-70s to find a worse start to a season.

What happened?

GIF Sundsvall started well with a win over Nordic United FC on April 5. But since then, Giffarna have lost six consecutive games and had major problems with both scoring and defense.

Why is it like this?

Lukas Sahlin, sports manager at Sundsvall Tidning, believes that ultimately it is the economy that is behind the table position. – It's about economy. How much money do you have to build a team with. In Giffarnas case, it's about setting up and adapting to the economy and then it becomes a worse team, he says.

What is the situation now?

GIF Sundsvall is in 11th place in Superettan with 40 points, 11 wins, 7 draws and 12 losses from 30 games. The club has scored 36 goals and conceded 38 goals, which gives a goal difference of -2. | Category | Value | | --- | --- | | League position | 11th place | | Points | 40 | | Wins | 11 | | Draws | 7 | | Losses | 12 | | Goals | 36 | | Conceded goals | 38 | | Goal difference | -2 |
