AFC Eskilstuna hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 22 points and a 14th position in the Superettan table. Visiting Örgryte holds 9th place with 26 pts.
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Svenska Cupen. That game was also an away game, at Lodde. 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.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Örgryte have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artifical turf is 3-4-4 (win-draw-loss) from eleven matches.
AFC Eskilstuna form and stats
The story so far in the Superettan for AFC Eskilstuna at their home stadium (Tunavallen) is 3 wins, 2 draws and 5 defeats.
Eskilstuna enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at GIF Sundsvall's place. The match ended 3-2 with C. Omeje, O. Nnamani and C. Ljungberg scoring. In the game before, an away victory in the Svenska Cupen match versus Taby with a 2-0 scoreline.
Manager Ö. Melkemichel felt very clever after C. Ljungberg scored the winning goal against GIF Sundsvall, having brought on that player as a substitute in the 85th minute.
This is expected to be a close game, with AFC Eskilstuna perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with AFC Eskilstuna as a small favourite), we find six games. AFC Eskilstuna has won two of these, drawn three and lost one.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for AFC Eskilstuna as they are travelling to their away game against Akropolis in the Superettan. That match is four days after this one.
Eskilstuna are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 12 goals in 10 games. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the AFC Eskilstuna defense is not exactly impregnable. 16 goals conceded from 10 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
Örgryte form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Örgryte so far with only 7 points returning home. The records show 1-4-5 (win-draw-lose).
It might be tough going out on the road again for Örgryte, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 1-2 versus Lodde. Preceding that, the 1-3 home loss versus Brage.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Örgryte playing away and similar expectations, we found nine relevant matches. Results were four Örgryte wins, three draws and two defeats.
The attacking power of Örgryte when travelling is not overwhelming with 8 goals scored from 10 league matches away. In the opposite end, Örgryte have conceded 16 goals in their away games.
Head 2 Head
These teams' last encounter with each other was the Örgryte - Eskilstuna 2-1 earlier this season. Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: three wins for Eskilstuna, four draws and three wins for Örgryte. Over 2,5 goals: six times; under 2,5 goals: four games.Top Goalscorers
