We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Varberg BoIS form and stats
The story so far in the Allsvenskan for Varberg BoIS at their home stadium (Varberg Energi Arena) is 2 wins, 1 draw and 3 defeats.
An away draw last time out for Varberg, facing Degerfors in a game that ended 1-1. Jean Carlos was "man of the match" with a rating of 8.45 out of 10. The defender Carlos hit two key passes and won 9 of 13 duels.
Previous to that game, a home match hosting IFK Göteborg in a game that was won 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 Varberg have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found four matches with the results: Won two, drawn one and lost one.
Varberg are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 8 goals in 6 games. Varberg have conceded 11 from these games.
Sirius form and stats
Sirius have only collected 5 points from their away games in the Allsvenskan, after 1-2-4 (7 played). Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Sirius's last three away games as they have all been lost.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Allsvenskan home defeat versus Örebro with 1-2 on the scoreboard. Marcus Mathisen was the top performer of the team in that game with a match score of 8.13. The defender Mathisen served one assist, hit one key pass and won 10 of 16 duels.
Prior to that match, a home win 2-0 against Degerfors.So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Sirius playing away and similar expectations, we found four relevant matches. Results were one Sirius win, three draws and zero defeats.
Sirius find the net regularly in their away games. 8 goals from 7 away fixtures in the league. People interested in "over 2,5 goals" betting will like to know that Sirius concede an average of more than 2,5 goals per away match all on their own.
