Round two of the Allsvenskan campaign and the teams have had a few days to digest the first match. Here's the best Värnamo - Mjällby preview:
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
Värnamo form and stats
In the previous season, Värnamo's league stats were 9 wins, 10 draws and 11 losses, ending with 10th place in the Allsvenskan. In these 30 matches they scored {34 goals} and gave away 47. Playing as the host team in the previous season Värnamo delivered 5-6-4 (win-draw-lost) with {17 goals} and 18 conceded.
Värnamo enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at IFK Göteborg's place. The match ended 1-0. Larsson, defender, was given a rating of 8.01/10 in that game, top of the team. Larsson hit two key passes and won 10 of 13 duels.
Preceding that match was the home game against IFK Göteborg that was lost 1-4.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 Värnamo have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 8 matches with the results: Won 5, drawn 2 and lost 1.
Mjällby form and stats
Let's have a look at how Mjällby performed last season in the Allsvenskan: They landed a 9th position in the league table after playing out 11 victories, 10 draws and 9 defeats. In total they scored 33 and conceded {33 goals} in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 6 - drew 4 and lost 5 with 12/13 goals scored/conceded.
Mjällby's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Varberg BoIS that finished 2-2. Drawing 2-2 against Varberg BoIS after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 2-0. Their manager Torstensson needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result. Johansson has found the net for this side three fixtures in a row. The flair! The attacker Stahl got a match rating of 7.44 in that game. Stahl hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.
Preceding that, 0-0 away against Kalmar (after extra-time, 4-5 on penalties) in the Svenska Cupen.
