Football betting preview: Team Thoren favourites when Nyköping visits

It's no vacation for neither Team Thoren nor Nyköping as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

This pitch has artificial turf, which is not Nyköping's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on artificial turf Nyköping have performed like this: Played 23 matches resulting in 6 wins, 4 draws and 13 defeats with the goal stats 29-50 (scored/conceded).

Team Thoren form and stats

2 victories, 1 draw and 3 defeats. That’s what Team Thoren have to build on here at Umeå Energi Arena SOL.

Team Thoren's previous game was a Division 1: North match also played at home, ending 2-0 versus Nyköping. The home side are looking to build on that result. Preceding that game was the home draw versus Linköping City that ended 2-2.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Team Thoren's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played four games, won 1 match, drawn 0 and lost 3.

A decent goal production from Team Thoren in their home games so far, with 9 goals from 6 matches. Team Thoren have conceded 9 from these games.

Nyköping form and stats

Nyköping, who have the fewest points (2) away in Division 1: North, have only collected 2 points from their away games after 0-2-4 (6 played). five defeats in a row for Nyköping in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Karlslund.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Nyköping, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-2 versus Team Thoren. Ahead of that game was the 2-2 draw at home against Vasalund in the Svenska Cupen.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Nyköping playing away, we found two games. Results were 0 away wins, 0 draws and 2 home wins.

There's been a serious shortage of goals from Nyköping's away games this season with only 1 goal from 6 matches. The Nyköping manager B. Clarhaut has some worries about the defense as 12 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

These teams' last encounter with each other was the Team Thoren - Nyköping 2-0 earlier this season. Last seven meetings between the teams: Team Thoren won 3, Nyköping won 3 and 1 draw. 4 games with over 2,5 goals, 3 matches with two goals or less.
