Akropolis form and stats

When playing at home in the Superettan, Akropolis have managed 2 wins, 5 draws and suffered 0 defeats from 7 games. Akropolis has a nice streak going on as they have played ten consecutive leaguegames without losing (regardless of home/away). They are keen to extend their tally, a streak that began after the Jönköpings Södra defeat 57 days ago. In general it's been a long time since Akropolis tasted defeat here at Grimsta IP, as they have taken at least one point from their last 14 home games in the league.

The spoils were shared in Akropolis's previous game, also at home. Visiting Degerfors (placed 1st) travelled back with a draw after a 1-1 scoreline. In the preceding match a 2-1 victory visiting AFC Eskilstuna.

The home team are moderate favourites in this game. How does Akropolis handle that role? We have found seven games in our database similar to this one, based on the home odds. The stats for these games are two wins, five draws and zero defeats.
