There's been ups and downs for these two teams so far this season, occupying positions near the middle of the Allsvenskan table so far. Here's the Sirius - Varberg BoIS latest:
These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Allsvenskan. That game was an away game at Mjällby, so at least Sirius are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
Sirius form and stats
2 victories, 2 draws and 2 defeats. That’s what Sirius, who have the most conceded goals (14) at home in Allsvenskan, have to build on here at Studenternas IP in the Allsvenskan.
Sirius travelled for their previous game, a trip to Mjällby that ended 1-1. Preceding that game was the away draw at Elfsborg that finished 3-3.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Sirius have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found seven games) they have won four times, drawn two and lost one.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Helsingborg are coming to town in three days.
The Sirius manager H. Rydström has got the team scoring with 12 from 6 home games in the league. Sirius have conceded 14 goals in these home games, a significant number.
Varberg BoIS form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Varberg BoIS so far with only 5 points returning home. The records show 1-2-3 (win-draw-lose).
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Allsvenskan home defeat versus Djurgården with 1-2 on the scoreboard. Ahead of that game was the 1-1 draw at home against Östersunds FK.
Varberg BoIS are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is two wins, zero draws and three defeats. From a total of five matches.
A new game in only three days for Varberg, the Allsvenskan home match versus Häcken. Busy days.
The visiting Varberg BoIS have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 8 goals from 6 games. As for defending, Varberg rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 9 goals from these away matches.
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last seven meetings: two - two - three (Sirius wins - draws - Varberg BoIS wins). As for goals, three matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), four had two or less.Top Goalscorers
