The visiting Sirius played their last game only three days ago, a Svenska Cupen match. That game was also an away game, at Taby. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.

It should be mentioned that Sirius play their home matches on grass, so they have to adjust for this one as it's played on artifical turf. Does it matter?

Örebro form and stats

Örebro's struggle is real here at Behrn Arena with only 6 points collected from 7 Allsvenskan games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-3-3. Two draws in a row at home now for Örebro.

The fans are hoping that Örebro will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the Allsvenskan game against Varberg (placed 12th). Midfield player Nordin Gerzić got a match rating of 7.4 in that game, the max score being 10. Gerzić dribled passed the opponent 1 of 2 times and had 53 successful passes (of 63 total).

In the match before that, Örebro hosted Mjallby and drew the game 2-2.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Örebro have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found six matches with the results: Won two, drawn two and lost two.

Örebro have scored 5 league goals here from 7 matches, not a lot. Örebro's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 10 times. 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 6 points from 8 away games in the Allsvenskan. Sirius only have 1 win to counter their 4 defeats and 3 draws.

The attacking players of Sirius have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 204 minutes.

Sirius play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 3-2 victory visiting Taby. The end of the last match, against Taby, was very satisfying as E. Sylisufaj scored the winning goal deep into overtime.

Preceding that, the 0-1 home loss versus AIK.

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

Sirius are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 8 away goals from 8 games (in the league). The Sirius manager D. Bäckström has some worries about the defense as 19 goals have been conceded in these travels.
