Insights:
  • Forward have the most scored goals (83) in Division 2: Norra Gotaland
  • Forward have scored at least twice as many goals at home as Vänersborgs FK have scored away.

Forward and Vänersborgs FK should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Vänersborgs FK have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 11-4-21 (win-draw-loss) from 36 matches.

Forward are battling for top spots and have everything to play for. Vänersborgs FK is no longer fighting for a cause; they can neither go up or down this season.

Vänersborgs FK form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Vänersborgs FK so far with only 13 points returning home. The records show 3-4-6 (win-draw-lose).

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Division 2: Norra Gotaland home defeat versus IFK Tidaholm with 0-5 on the scoreboard. As you can see from the result above, the defeat against IFK Tidaholm was particularly ugly (0-5). The humiliation is still top of mind.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Oddevold wasn't a success with a 0-3 loss.

Vänersborgs are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 20 times in 13 away games so far. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. For Vänersborgs, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.

The last head-to-head match ended Vänersborgs FK - Forward 2-5, played this season.
