Sirius form and stats

The story so far for Sirius, who have the fewest points (3) at home in Allsvenskan, at their home stadium (Studenternas IP) is 1 win, 0 draws and 3 defeats. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Sirius to get some points in this home game. Three consecutive losses here at Studenternas IP is hard to swallow for the home team. Both players, staff and the home crowd are desperate to get something from this match.

In their previous game, the manager H. Rydström led his Sirius to a defeat in the Allsvenskan match away at Hammarby. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Studenternas IP. Before that game, the home loss against IFK Göteborg with the scoreline 2-4.

This is expected to be a close game, with Sirius perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Sirius as a small favourite), we find five games. Sirius has won 2 of these, drawn 1 and lost 2.

Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Allsvenskan game versus Häcken in only four days. This game is also played here at Studenternas IP.

A decent goal production from Sirius in their home games so far, with 7 goals from 4 matches. As for conceded goals, Sirius's unpleasant statistic is 7 goals surrendered.
