It's back home for Luleå, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Gottne IF away with the result 5-0. As mentioned above, IFK Luleå "killed" Gottne IF in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.

Storfors form and stats

There's been little loot from Storfors's travels as they have only collected 4 points from 6 away games in the Division 2: Norrland. Storfors only have 1 win to counter their 4 defeats and 1 draw.

Impressive finishing secured the home win 5-2 against Ytterhogdal in their previous game. As you can tell from the result, the match against Ytterhogdal was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 7 goals, will the fun continue today?

Prior to that match, a home win 6-0 against Umeå FC Akademi.

We have done a similar check as we did with the hometeam, looking up recent matches where Storfors played away with similar odds. This revealed 6 games. The visitors overcame the odds to win 1 time, 1 were draw and the home team won as expected 4 times.

The attacking power of Storfors when travelling is not overwhelming with 4 goals scored from 6 league matches away.
