Sirius form and stats

The home supporters can't complain about results here at Studenternas IP as Sirius have scored 8 goals to get 12 points from 6 games. The overall stats in the Allsvenskan are 4-0-2 (wins-draws-losses).

The club members are hoping that Sirius will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 1-3 away loss in the game against Malmö FF (placed 4th). The first setback in the shape of a loss after collecting points through three league matches. Defender Mathisen got the top score of the team in the match with a rating of 7.62/10. Mathisen won 4 of 6 duels.

Before that, Sirius had a home game versus Degerfors which ended with a victory 2-0.

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 11 matches with the results: Won 5, drawn 3 and lost 3.

The Sirius fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 8 in 6 matches.
