VMA form and stats

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Division 2: Sodra Gotaland this season. VMA have only managed 0 wins, 1 draw and 6 losses from their games here at Ädlavallen. VMA are slowly digging their own grave here at Ädlavallen with the depressing streak of not having won a home league game in eight attempts.

Blennborn was the last player to score a league goal for VMA and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as VMA haven't scored in 270 minutes.

The VMA crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-3 to Simrishamn here at Ädlavallen. VMA lost the game against Simrishamn in the first half with a 0-3 deficit and could never come back from that.

Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Kristianstad (0-2).

Goal party? We don't know what will happen in this one, but we do know that 9 of the 11 latest league games with this team has had three goals or more.

The VMA fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 9 in 7 matches. This has been a stadium of sighs so far as VMA have let the opposition score 25 times, an average of more than three per game. When VMA hosts teams that live on the top of the table (like Österlen, Nosaby, Berga and IFK Malmö), the matches have ended over 2.5 goals 2 of 2 times.
