Sirius form and stats

Sirius have only collected 11 points from their away games in the Allsvenskan, after 2-5-6 (13 played). Recent form does not give Sirius much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Mjällby will be a tough nut to crack.

Sirius might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Malmö FF proved too strong as Sirius slumped to a 2-3 defeat in front of their own fans at Studenternas IP. It is probably bad news for Sirius that their goalie August Ahlin pulled off six saves in the Malmö FF fixture, but still were unable to prevent a defeat. Sirius were so close to getting something from the game against Malmö FF, but ended up with egg all over their face after conceding the deciding goal two minutes into overtime. Midfielder Nahom Girmai was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 8.32. Girmai scored one goal, hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.

A loss against Hammarby was the result prior to that, in a home game.

Looking at the earlier recent performances of Sirius when being an outsider away as they are today, we find six matches with the visitors losing two times, drawing one and winning three games.

Sirius are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 13 away goals from 13 games (in the league). Sirius have conceded 28 goals in these games.
