Competition: Sweden Allsvenskan
Date: Sun 29.September
Match begins: 13:00 (UTC)
Venue: NP3 Arena (8034 seats)

An important duel in the bottom section of the league table, with both teams experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic “six-pointer” with the home team placed 15th and the visitors in 11th place.

It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Allsvenskan.

This pitch has artificial turf, which is not Sirius's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on artificial turf Sirius have performed like this: Played 19 matches resulting in 7 wins, 4 draws and 8 defeats with the goal stats 22-31 (scored/conceded).

GIF Sundsvall form and stats

GIF Sundsvall's struggle is real here at NP3 Arena with only 9 points collected from 12 Allsvenskan games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 2-3-7. GIF Sundsvall are slowly digging their own grave here at NP3 Arena with the depressing streak of not having won a home game in nine attempts. The last victory here came in the Falkenberg match.

Happy days for GIF Sundsvall in their previous game, a Allsvenskan match away at Kalmar (placed 12th) that ended with a 2-0 victory. Before that game, the home loss against Djurgården with the scoreline 1-4.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams.

GIF Sundsvall has scored 14 league goals at home this season, in 12 matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the GIF Sundsvall defense is not exactly impregnable. 20 goals conceded from 12 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Sirius form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Sirius so far with only 12 Allsvenskan points returning home. The records show 3-3-6 (win-draw-lose).

The manager H. Rydström was unhappy after their last game, a Allsvenskan match played at their home ground NP3 Arena. Sirius suffered a 1-3 loss to Hammarby (placed 4th). A 1-2 defeat away at IFK Göteborg before that.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Sirius playing away and similar expectations, we found three relevant matches. Results were 1 Sirius win, 1 draw and 1 defeat.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Sirius as they have only managed to score 10 times from 12 away games in the league. Sirius have conceded 17 goals in these away matches.
