Season ticket holders at Harlyckans IP haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Eskilsminne languishing in the 15th position so far. The guesting Linköping City will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
7-6-8 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Linköping City when playing away games on grass, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has artifical turf). Their goal statistics from those 21 matches are 31-29 (scored/conceded).
Eskilsminne form and stats
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Ettan: South this season. Eskilsminne have only managed 1 win, 2 draws and 3 losses from their games here at Harlyckans IP. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Eskilsminne, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.
The fans are hoping that Eskilsminne will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 2-3 away loss in the Ettan: South game against Utsikten (placed 2nd).
There will be little rest for Eskilsminne after this match as they are travelling to Tvååker for a Ettan: South game in only four days.
The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Eskilsminne here at Harlyckans IP in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (5 from 6 games). Defensively there's plenty of potential for improvement as Eskilsminne have allowed the opposition to score 15 goals here at Harlyckans IP.
Linköping City form and stats
Linköping City have only collected 6 points from their away games in the Ettan: South, after 2-0-5 (7 played). Three has not been a lucky number for Linköping City as they have been defeated three times in a row since the Landskrona match. The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on K. Neshati, the Linköping manager, as the last three away games were defeats.
It might be tough going out on the road again for Linköping, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 2-3 versus Tvååker (placed 8th). Preceding that, the 0-4 home loss versus Varnamo.
After this away game Linköping City return home for a Ettan: South game against Assyriska Turabdin. That game is only four sleeps after this.
With an average of more than two away goals per league game away, Linköping City are regular goalscorers on their travels. Linköping's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 13 goals from these trips.
