It's still early in the Allsvenskan season, but we are learning more and more about the teams. Here is the Varberg BoIS - Falkenberg preview!
Varberg BoIS and Falkenberg 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.
Varberg BoIS form and stats
The home fans saw their team lose the first Allsvenskan game of the season here at Påskbergsvallen. Last season these fans witnessed 9 wins, 5 draws and 1 loss from Varberg BoIS's 15 home games.
Varberg BoIS drew their last game, 2-2 away at Malmö FF (placed 4th). Preceding that match was a defeat to IFK Göteborg (1-2).
G. Norlin was able to secure the draw 2-2 in the game against Malmö FF after coming on as a substitute and scoring the final goal. In the starting lineup today?
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 Varberg 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 three and lost zero.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Varberg BoIS as they are travelling to their away game against Hammarby in the Allsvenskan. That match is three days after this one.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Varberg BoIS at home in the league. 1 on target and 2 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.
Falkenberg form and stats
