Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Mjällby in 9th and Sirius in 6th place.

Mjällby travelled for their previous game, a trip to Norrköping that ended 1-1. In the match before that, Mjällby hosted Kalmar and drew the game 2-2.

Sirius form and stats

2-3-1 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Sirius, who have the most conceded goals (20) in Allsvenskan, in their Allsvenskan matches away. Sirius has drawn their two previous away games.

Sirius are the visiting side once again, their previous game being the 3-3 draw at Elfsborg (placed 3rd). Preceding that, the 2-5 home loss versus Malmö FF.

It looked so good for Sirius vs Elfsborg, but the job was not completed and victory was lost as a 3-1 lead was turned into a 3-3 draw. As you can tell from the result, the match against Elfsborg was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Varberg BoIS in just four days.

Sirius are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 8 away goals from 6 games (in the league). 6 goals have been conceded by Sirius in these games.

Head 2 Head

H2H stats regardless of arena (last nine matches): Mjällby five wins, one draw and Sirius three victories. As for goals, six matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), three games had two or less.
