Ahlafors form and stats

3-1-3 (win-draw-lost) are the Ettan: South numbers at home for Ahlafors so far this season. When Ahlafors hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Ljungskile, Norrby, Olympic, Ahlafors and Angelholm), they have won 2 of 2 matches! Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Ahlafors with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Tvååker game, 63 days ago, have they avoided a loss.

In their previous game, the manager Tidstrand led his Ahlafors to a defeat away at Ljungskile. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Svenska Stenhus Arena 1 Gräs. Ahlafors 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 defeat was the result before that one, 1-5 away at Oskarshamns AIK.

8 goals have been conceded.

Vänersborgs IF form and stats

Vänersborgs IF have only collected 7 points from their away games in the Ettan: South, after 2-1-4 (7 played).

Impressive finishing secured the home win 2-0 against Olympic in their previous game.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Åtvidaberg wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.

Lacking goals? 8 of this club's latest 10 league rounds have contained two goals or less.

The attacking power of Vänersborgs IF when travelling is not overwhelming with 6 goals scored from 7 league matches away. 9 goals have been conceded by Vänersborgs IF in these games.
