It's advantage Norrköping so far with their 4th position in the Allsvenskan table, welcoming Sirius who are placed 6th.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Sirius have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artifical turf is 5-6-10 (win-draw-loss) from 21 matches.
Norrköping form and stats
5 victories, 4 draws and 2 defeats. That’s what Norrköping, who have the most scored goals (43) in Allsvenskan, have to build on here at Östgötaporten in the Allsvenskan. Two draws in a row at home now for Norrköping.
Norrköping drew their last game, also a home match. Malmö FF (placed 1st) was the opponent, 1-1 the score. A strong away win before that one, visiting Kalmar and winning 2-0.
The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Norrköping's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played four games, won two matches, drawn one and lost one.
A decent goal production from Norrköping in their home games so far, with 18 goals from 11 league matches. Norrköping have only conceded 10 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Sirius form and stats
3 wins, 5 draws and 3 losses. That’s the product of Sirius playing as the away team in the Allsvenskan this season.
There might be some fixture complaints from Sirius as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the Allsvenskan match against Örebro (1-2). Before that, Sirius secured a home win against Falkenberg with the score 2-1.
Looking at the earlier recent performances of Sirius when being an outsider away as they are today, we find four matches with the visitors losing two times, drawing zero and winning two games.
Sirius are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 13 away goals from 11 games (in the league). 13 goals have been conceded by Sirius in these games.
