Örebro - Mjällby: Small difference between teams in Allsvenskan clash

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.

This pitch has artifical turf, which is not Mjällby's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on artifical turf Mjällby have performed like this: Played 15 matches resulting in 6 wins, 3 draws and 6 defeats with the goal stats 25-23 (scored/conceded).

Örebro form and stats

Örebro's struggle is real here at Behrn Arena with only 5 points collected from 6 Allsvenskan games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-2-3.

It's back home for Örebro, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Sirius away with the result 2-1. Nahir Besara and David Seger found the net in that victory. Goalkeeper Mergim Krasniqi got the top rating on the team in that game; 7.85 out of ten. Krasniqi stopped the opponent with six saves. Örebro goalkeeper Mergim Krasniqi did an outstanding job against Sirius with six saves, so vital to securing the victory.

The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 1-1 versus AIK.

This is expected to be a close game, with Örebro perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Örebro as a small favourite), we find six games. Örebro has won two of these, drawn two and lost two.

Örebro have scored 3 goals here in 6 league matches, a depressing statistic. 8 goals have been conceded.

Mjällby form and stats

There's been little loot from Mjällby's travels as they have only collected 2 points from 7 away games in the Allsvenskan. Mjällby only have 0 wins to counter their 5 defeats and 2 draws. It's looking increasingly bleak for Mjällby who now has to deal with a five game losing streak. AIK was the last time a defeat was avoided.

A. Sarr was the last player to score for the away team. Mjällby haven't scored a league goal in the last 210 minutes.

Mjällby lost away at Kalmar (0-1) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. Carljohan Eriksson was the team player of the game with the player rating of 7.93. The agile goalkeeper Eriksson stopped the opponent with seven saves. It's a bit worrying for Mjällby that their goalkeeper Carljohan Eriksson made seven saves in the Kalmar game last time out, but still couldn't prevent the loss.

The game before that, was lost at home, a 0-2 defeat against Malmö FF.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found four similar matches played by Mjällby in our archives, and the results are: one win for Mjällby, one draw and two defeats.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Mjällby as they have only managed to score 6 times from 7 away games in the league. In the opposite end, Mjällby have conceded 12 goals in their away games.

Head 2 Head

As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's three Örebro victories, one draw and six Mjällby wins. Over/under statistics; three of these games ended with three goals or more, seven matches with two goals or less.
