Competition: Wed 08.July
Match begins: 17:00 (UTC)
Venue: Uddevalla Arena (8000 seats)

The Superettan league table might not tell the truth so early on, but it's the best truth we have so far. Ljungskile and Brage are placed 12th and 14th respectively.

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Ljungskile and Brage.

Ljungskile form and stats

OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Ljungskile's two home games in the Superettan so far this season, having collected 3 points here at Uddevalla Arena.

Ljungskile drew their last game, 2-2 away at Norrby (placed 5th). Before that, Ljungskile had a home game versus Trelleborg which ended with a victory 2-0.

This is expected to be a close game, with Ljungskile perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Ljungskile as a small favourite), we find five games. Ljungskile has won three of these, drawn zero and lost two.

Ljungskile are traveling soon after this match as the Superettan match at Västerås SK awaits in four days.

Ljungskile has scored 4 goals so far and conceded 3 goals from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.

Brage form and stats

Things could have gone better for Brage in their Superettan away matches, but 3 points from 2 games is all right.

Did you know that the longest clean sheet streak is 1816 minutes? This record is held by Mazaropi when he played in Vasco da Gama. Brage goalkeeper is eager to challenge this, with his 214 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.

Brage's last game was the home draw against Halmstad (0-0). Prior to that result Brage won their away game at GAIS. The scoreline was 1-0.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Brage playing away and similar expectations, we found five relevant matches. Results were two Brage wins, two draws and one defeat.

Brage has another fixture away, a Superettan game, against AFC Eskilstuna in just four days. A tough schedule for the visitors!

Brage have the goal stats of 2-4 (for/against) from 2 business trips in the league at this early stage of the season.

Head 2 Head

Last eight meetings between the teams: Ljungskile won four, Brage won one and three draws. five games with over 2,5 goals, three matches with two goals or less.
