Akropolis form and stats
3 victories, 5 draws and 0 defeats. That’s what Akropolis have to build on here at Grimsta IP in the Superettan. The Akropolis fans aren't used to losing league-games here at Grimsta IP and will expect new points from this game. Akropolis has played 15 games in a row here without a defeat.
Akropolis lost their last game at Ljungskile (placed 15th) after a 1-2 scoreline. Ahead of that match, Akropolis won a home game hosting Ljungskile (1-0).
This is expected to be a close game, with Akropolis perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Akropolis as a small favourite), we find three games. Akropolis has won one of these, drawn two and lost zero.
Akropolis are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 11 goals in 8 games. Akropolis are not conceding a lot of goals here at Grimsta IP in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 6 from 8 matches.
Öster form and stats
As the visiting team in Superettan matches, Öster have produced an overall stat of 3-3-2 so far. The visitors have performed well in their home games as well, building a total win streak of four games home and away. Öster hope to make it five in this match. Winning streaks in away matches are not that common, but Öster are close to a proper streak after winning their two previous away games.
Öster play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 2-1 victory visiting GIF Sundsvall (placed 6th). A home win before that, celebrating 4-1 vs GAIS.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Öster playing away and similar expectations, we found seven relevant matches. Results were four Öster wins, one draw and two defeats.
A quick return to home after this game, as Öster are hosting Trelleborg in the Superettan only four days away.
Öster are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 8 away goals from 8 games (in the league). As opposed to that, Öster have seen the ball go into their own net 8 times on the road.
