Sirius form and stats

Sirius have played 13 Allsvenskan games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 6-1-6 (wins-draws-losses). We have seen two home losses in a row now for Sirius, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.

Sirius enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Mjallby's place. The match ended 3-2 with Edi Sylisufaj and Adam Stahl (2) scoring. The game against Mjallby had lots of late drama as Sirius came back from being down 0-2 and finally secured the victory through Adam Stahl's goal in the 89th minute. Midfield player Adam Stahl got a match rating of 8.85 in that game, the max score being 10. Stahl scored two goals and hit one key pass.

Before that game, the home loss against Malmö FF with the scoreline 2-3.

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 Sirius have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found eight matches with the results: Won four, drawn two and lost two.

The Sirius fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 15 in 13 matches. On the other hand, Sirius have conceded 16 goals.
