Sirius and Halmstad should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
Sirius form and stats
Sirius have played three Allsvenskan home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 1 point from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Sirius, their manager Mattiasson and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.
Sirius are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-3 away versus Mjallby. Sirius lost the game against Mjallby in the first half with a 0-3 deficit and could never come back from that. Mathisen, defender, was given a rating of 7.15/10 in that game, top of the team. Mathisen won 13 of 22 duels.
Preceding that match was the home game against Elfsborg that was lost 3-4.Sirius are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 4 goals in 3 games. As for conceded goals, Sirius's unpleasant statistic is 8 goals surrendered.
Halmstad form and stats
No Allsvenskan points yet away for Halmstad, from their first 3 matches. The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on Haglund, the Halmstad manager, as the last three away games were defeats.
The manager Haglund was unhappy after their last game, played at their home venue Örjans Vall. Halmstad suffered a 0-1 loss to Malmö FF (placed 1st). Halmstad goalkeeper Nilsson had a brilliant day versus Malmö FF, but even with achieving eight saves the loss could not be stopped.
Before that, Halmstad secured a home win against Häcken with the score 1-0.The attacking power of Halmstad when travelling is not overwhelming with 2 goals scored from 3 league matches away. The Halmstad defense is as useful as an ashtray on a motorcycle, having conceded 11 goals in their away games.
Head 2 Head
As for the last eight games between these two teams, there's six Sirius victories, one draw and one Halmstad win. Over/under statistics; five of these games ended with three goals or more, three matches with two goals or less.
