Mjällby form and stats

4-5-1 (win-draw-lost) are the Allsvenskan numbers at home for Mjällby so far this season.

Mjällby are returning here after visiting Hassleholms IF in a Svenska Cupen match and winning with a 2-0 scoreline. Sweet to taste a league victory after three fixtures without.

In the game before, an away victory in the Allsvenskan match versus Helsingborg with a 1-0 scoreline.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Mjällby have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 9 matches with the results: Won 4, drawn 3 and lost 2.

Low on goals? In this team's last 14 league games, 12 have seen zero, one or two goals.

The Mjällby fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 14 in 10 matches. From these home matches, Mjällby have conceded only 9 goals.

Prior to that match, a home win 2-0 against Sirius in the Allsvenskan.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with IFK Göteborg playing away and similar expectations, we found 7 relevant matches. Results were 2 IFK Göteborg wins, 3 draws and 2 defeats.
