With the nervous opening game out of the way it’s time for the second Division 1: South game of the season. Motala look forward to welcoming Skövde AIK in front of their home support.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Motala form and stats
Motala has won so many consecutive home games (four in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at Motala Idrottspark. We remember; it was Haninge.
In their previous game, the manager C. Persson led his Motala to a defeat in the Division 1: South match away at Varnamo. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Motala Idrottspark.
There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Motala, as the Division 1: South home game vs Utsikten is only four days away.
Last season, Motala's league statistics were 13 wins, 9 draws and 4 losses, resulting in a 2nd position in the Division 2: Sodra Svealand. Over these 26 matches they scored 45 goals and conceded 24. Playing at home last season Motala managed 8-3-2 (win-draw-lost) with 27 goals and 10 conceded.
Skövde AIK form and stats
There were no winners in Skövde's previous match, a Division 1: South home game that ended 2-2 vs Utsikten (placed 6th). Preceding that game was the away victory against Oddevold with the score of 2-1.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Skövde AIK playing away and similar expectations, we found seven relevant matches. Results were one Skövde AIK win, two draws and four defeats.
A new game in only four days for Skövde, the Division 1: South home match versus Landskrona. Busy days.
Let's have a look at how Skövde AIK performed last season in the Division 2: Norra Gotaland: They landed a 4th position in the league table after playing out 14 victories, 7 draws and 9 defeats. In total they scored 44 and conceded 33 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 5 - drew 5 and lost 5 with 15/18 goals scored/conceded.
