The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. AFC Eskilstuna are in the 10th position while the guesting Dalkurd worry at 12th.
It's no vacation for neither AFC Eskilstuna nor Dalkurd 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.
3 - 4 - 7 with 17-24. What does this mean? Well, these are the statistics for Dalkurd when playing on artifical turf like they will do today. Wins - draws- losses and goals scored-conceded. Dalkurd play their home games on grass so that's why we provide these numbers.
AFC Eskilstuna form and stats
AFC Eskilstuna have played 12 Superettan games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 5-2-5 (wins-draws-losses). Two home wins in a row for AFC Eskilstuna bring valid hopes of a third.
Eskilstuna's previous game was a Superettan match also played at home, ending 3-2 versus Trelleborg (placed 13th). The home side are looking to build on that result. Heartbreak before that as AFC Eskilstuna lost 2-3 at Akropolis's place.
The victory against Trelleborg came after V. Götesson's winning goal. The AFC Eskilstuna manager Ö. Melkemichel was very happy afterwards with the decision to bring on that player in the 70th minute.
Eskilstuna are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 16 goals in 12 games. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 18 goals have been conceded. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
Dalkurd form and stats
Dalkurd have only collected 9 points from their away games in the Superettan, after 2-3-7 (12 played).
Dalkurd failed to get anything from their last game, a Superettan home match vs GIF Sundsvall (placed 6th) that ended with defeat 1-3. Ahead of that match was the victory versus Orgryte at their stadium, the result 2-1.
Dalkurd find the net regularly in their away games. 13 goals from 12 away fixtures in the league. Dalkurd's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 20 goals from these trips.
