It's still early in the Allsvenskan season, but we are learning more and more about the teams. Here is the Sirius - Elfsborg preview!
- Sirius have the most scored goals in the second half (6) in Allsvenskan
- Elfsborg haven’t played a single 0-0 game.
It's no vacation for neither Sirius nor Elfsborg as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
This stadium uses grass, unlike Elfsborg's home stadium. The visitors last 27 games on grass have ended in 12 wins, 6 draws and 9 losses.
Sirius form and stats
Only two Allsvenskan home games for Sirius so far, yet both highs and lows with 1 win, 1 draw and 0 defeat.
Preceding that game was the home draw versus Kalmar that ended 1-1.
David Mitov Nilsson had a busy but productive day in the Hammarby match. Despite making six saves the loss could not be prevented.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Sirius at home in the league. 2 on target and 1 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.
Elfsborg form and stats
Things could have gone better for Elfsborg in their Allsvenskan away matches, but 3 points from 2 games is all right.
Prior to that match, the Elfsborg manager J. Thelin faced defeat when travelling to AIK and losing 0-1.
Drawing 2-2 against Kalmar after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 2-0. Their manager J. Thelin needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result.
A new game in only four days for Elfsborg, the Allsvenskan home match versus Halmstad. Busy days.
As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, Elfsborg has managed 3 goals and let in 2 from 2 matches.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: four wins for Sirius, three draws and three wins for Elfsborg. Over 2,5 goals: six times; under 2,5 goals: four games.Top Goalscorers
