A key match in Allsvenskan as both teams are battling for the top positions. With Varberg BoIS in 5th position and Mjällby placed 2nd, this promises to be an exciting meeting. Read on to find out more!
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Varberg and Mjällby.
Varberg BoIS form and stats
Varberg BoIS must be fairly happy with 6 points from their first three Allsvenskan games here. Varberg BoIS has recorded two wins in a row here, increasing their hopes of victory in this match.
Varberg lost their last game at Örebro (placed 9th) after a 0-1 scoreline. Previous to that game, a home match hosting Kalmar in a game that was won 1-0.
There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Varberg, as the Allsvenskan home game vs AIK is only three days away.
The Varberg fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 5 goals in 3 league matches. Varberg's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 3 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Mjällby form and stats
The visitors are W2-D1-L1 on the road this term. That's in the Allsvenskan. The fact that Mjällby have won four matches in a row should scare the hosts and makes this contest more interesting. Momentum is building for Mjällby in their away games, having won their two previous outings.
Mjällby go into this game after a win, the home game against Häcken that ended 3-1. Ahead of that game was the 0-0 draw at home against Malmö FF (after extra-time, 2-4 on penalties) in the Svenska Cupen.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Mjällby manager M. Lantz as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Örebro.
The visiting Mjällby have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 4 goals from 4 games. 4 goals have been conceded by Mjällby in these games.
