Varberg BoIS have reset their minds and bodies following their 4-3-game vs Brommapojkarna and are ready to go again when travelling to Sirius. Get all the facts!
- Sirius is in the worst form (1-0-5)
- Varberg BoIS have the fewest scored goals (20) in Allsvenskan
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Sirius form and stats
With 3 Allsvenskan wins, 1 draw and 7 defeats from their home games, Sirius are certainly not brimming with confidence. When Sirius hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Degerfors, AIK, IFK Göteborg, Brommapojkarna and Sirius), they have won 1 of 2 matches! With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Sirius to get some points in this home game.
The fans are hoping that Sirius will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 1-2 away loss in the game against Halmstad (placed 10th). Midfield player de Kamps got a match rating of 7.64 in that game, the max score being 10. Kamps had 38 successful passes (of 44 total).
Preceding that match was a defeat to Malmö FF (1-3).Goal party? Nobody knows about this one, but we do know that 8 of the 10 latest league matches with this team has had three goals or more.
Sirius has scored 16 league goals at home this season, in 11 matches. Sirius have conceded 19 from these games. Sirius has at home met teams with this table position (low), two times. It has ended with less than 2.5 goals 2 of 2 times.
Varberg BoIS form and stats
Varberg BoIS have only collected 8 points from their away games in the Allsvenskan, after 2-2-7 (11 played). The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Varberg have lost on their last two travels.
Varberg BoIS go into this game after a win, the home game against Brommapojkarna that ended 4-3. That win felt sweet as this team had gone four league matches without victory. A bonkers fixture with an abundance of goals last time out for Varberg, as mentioned above. 7 goals in that fixture, will this fixture be as exciting? Midfielder Karlsson was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 7.4. Karlsson scored one goal, hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.
A 0-3 defeat away at AIK before that.Varberg BoIS have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 11 league away games 12 goals have been scored. In the opposite end, Varberg have conceded 19 goals in their away games. When Varberg BoIS is visiting a side on the bottom half, 3 of 4 matches have ended with three or more goals. These are matches against Degerfors, AIK, Varberg BoIS, IFK Göteborg and Brommapojkarna.
Head 2 Head
The two combatants have met before this season: Varberg BoIS - Sirius 1-1. Head to head numbers (for the preceeding ten meetings): Sirius won three games, three matches ended in a draw and Varberg BoIS got four wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: four / six.
