It's still early in the Division 2: Vastra Gotaland season, but we are learning more and more about the teams. Here is the Vastra Frolunda - Prespa Birlik preview!
It's no vacation for neither Frolunda nor Prespa Birlik 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.
Vastra Frolunda's stadium, Ruddalens IP 1, has a artifical turf surface. Prespa Birlik have grass on their own stadium. This might or might not make a difference, and to help evaluate that we give you the recent performance numbers for Prespa Birlik when playing on artifical turf; 4 wins, 0 draws and 6 losses from ten matches. They have scored 9 goals in these games and conceded 19.
Vastra Frolunda form and stats
The first Division 2: Vastra Gotaland game here at Ruddalens IP 1 resulted in a draw. Last season Vastra Frolunda's home game statistics were 4 victories, 4 draws and 3 defeats from 11 games.
The spoils were shared in Vastra Frolunda's previous game, also at home. Visiting Onsala (placed 10th) travelled back with a draw after a 1-1 scoreline. A defeat was the result before that one, 0-3 away at Angelholm.
Vastra Frolunda are traveling soon after this match as the Division 2: Vastra Gotaland match at Assyriska BK awaits in three days.
Early season league goal statistics from Vastra Frolunda's 1 home game: 1 goal, 1 conceded.
Prespa Birlik form and stats
The visitors' first away game in the Division 2: Vastra Gotaland ended in defeat. Last season Prespa Birlik had these away match statistics: Played 13; won 2, drew 5 and lost 6. It's a growing despair in Prespa as they have recorded three consecutive losses.
Home advantage was not enough for Prespa in their previous game, as they lost their Division 2: Vastra Gotaland-match, hosting Angelholm, 0-4. A 0-1 defeat away at IFK Malmö before that.
Prespa lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-4 beating and focus on this one.
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 Prespa Birlik playing away, we found two games. Results were one away win, zero draws and one home win.
Prespa has another fixture away, a Division 2: Vastra Gotaland game, against Onsala in just three days. A tough schedule for the visitors!
As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, Prespa Birlik has managed 0 goals and let in 1 from 1 match.
