IFK Göteborg are prepared for a new challenge after their 0-1 versus Kalmar in the previous match. Sirius are coming to play!
- IFK Göteborg have the fewest conceded goals in the first half (4) in Allsvenskan
- Sirius have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.
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.
IFK Göteborg form and stats
When playing at home in the Allsvenskan, IFK Göteborg have managed 4 wins, 3 draws and suffered 2 defeats from 9 games.
Times are rough for the home team, having gone 184 minutes without scoring a league goal. Yakob was the last player to find the net.
In their previous game, the manager Stahre led his IFK Göteborg to a defeat away at Kalmar. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Gamla Ullevi. Svensson (midfield) was the top team player in that game with a rating of 7.1/10. Svensson had 38 successful passes (of 43 total).
Preceding that match was the home game against Hammarby that was lost 0-1.The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how IFK Göteborg have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 9 games) they have won 1 time, drawn 5 and lost 3.
It should be considered that a look at the 10 most recent league matches reveals that 8 of them qualified as a both teams not to score result (only one or none of the teams scored).
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for IFK Göteborg as they are travelling to their away game against Torns in the Svenska Cupen. That match is three days after this one.
The Göteborg fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 12 in 9 matches. IFK Göteborg have only conceded 7 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Sirius form and stats
There's been little loot from Sirius's travels as they have only collected 10 points from 10 away games in the Allsvenskan. Sirius only have 2 wins to counter their 4 defeats and 4 draws.
Sirius have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 213 minutes ago. Kouakou was the goal scorer.
Home advantage was not enough for Sirius in their previous game as they lost hosting Häcken, 0-1. Sirius were so close to getting something from the game against Häcken, but ended up with egg all over their face after conceding the deciding goal four minutes into overtime. Midfield player Roche was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.44/10. Roche had 38 successful passes (of 39 total).
Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Helsingborg that ended 0-0.Sirius are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 1 win, 4 draws and 4 defeats. From a total of 9 matches.
The schedule is very tough for Sirius now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Svenska Cupen game at Sandviken is waiting in only four days.
In the opposite end, Sirius have conceded 17 goals in their away games.
Head 2 Head
IFK Göteborg have won at least one point in the last 8 matches (4-4-0) versus Sirius.Sirius - Göteborg 1-2 was the result in these participants' last head-to-head fixture, played this season.
