With their 2 point advantage in the league table, GAIS fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against Umeå.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
GAIS's stadium, Nya Gamla Ullevi, has a grass surface. Umeå have artifical turf on their own stadium. This might or might not make a difference, and to help evaluate that we give you the recent performance numbers for Umeå when playing on grass; 8 wins, 4 draws and 11 losses from 23 matches. They have scored 35 goals in these games and conceded 38.
These teams have little in common geographically as Umeå have to travel 900 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
GAIS form and stats
GAIS must be fairly happy with 6 points from their first three Superettan games here at Nya Gamla Ullevi.
The fans are hoping that GAIS will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-2 away loss in the Superettan game against Trelleborg (placed 8th). Before that, GAIS had a home game versus Dalkurd which ended with a victory 2-1.
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 GAIS have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found seven matches with the results: Won three, drawn two and lost two.
GAIS are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 3 goals in 3 games. From these home matches, GAIS have conceded only 2 goals.
Umeå form and stats
Umeå are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Superettan, having played 3 games and collected 3 points (1 win, 0 draws and 2 losses).
Umeå have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 278 minutes ago. B. Alexis was the goal scorer.
Home advantage was not enough for Umeå in their previous game, as they lost their Superettan-match, hosting Halmstad, 0-1. A 0-1 defeat away at Degerfors before that.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found ten similar matches played by Umeå in our archives, and the results are: two wins for Umeå, four draws and four defeats.
Umeå find the net regularly in their away games. 4 goals from 3 away fixtures in the league. Umeå struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 5 goals conceded from these games.
