A short look at the Ettan: North table suggest an upper hand to United Nordic when they visit Vasalund. Nevertheless; let's play the match before we elect a winner!

Insights:
  • Vasalund have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
  • United Nordic have not yet lost a game away.

United Nordic could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Ettan: North game only four sleeps ago. That game was also an away game, at Sylvia. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.

Vasalund form and stats

Vasalund have played 4 Ettan: North games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 2-0-2 (wins-draws-losses).

The Vasalund supporters got no joy from their last match, also played here at Skytteholms IP: A 0-4 defeat against Stocksund (placed 9th). Vasalund were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.

A strong away win before that one, visiting Sandviken and winning 2-0.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Vasalund have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 7 games) they have won 2 times, drawn 2 and lost 3.

The manager Giantsis will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Hammarby Talang in only four days.

Vasalund are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 5 goals in 4 games. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 7 goals have been conceded.

Prior to that match, a home win 2-1 against Täby.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Dalkurd in just three days.

It's early days yet, but United Nordic has scored 8 and conceded 4 goals from their travels in the league so far (4 games).
