A home win is expected from this fixture if the league table is anything to judge by. The Akropolis fans are optimistic that the difference between 5th and Umeå's 15th place in the table will show on the pitch.
These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Svenska Cupen. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Forward.
This pitch has grass, which is not Umeå's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on grass Umeå have performed like this: Played 23 matches resulting in 6 wins, 5 draws and 12 defeats with the goal stats 26-35 (scored/conceded).
Akropolis form and stats
3 victories, 7 draws and 0 defeats. That’s what Akropolis have to build on here at Grimsta IP in the Superettan. 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 17 home games in the league.
A good away victory last time out for Akropolis, who won 3-0 against Forward. 1-1 away at Dalkurd before that.
The Akropolis fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 14 in 10 matches. From these home matches, Akropolis have conceded only 9 goals.
Umeå form and stats
There's been little loot from Umeå's travels as they have only collected 9 points from 10 away games in the Superettan. Umeå, who have the fewest scored goals (16) in Superettan, only have 2 wins to counter their 5 defeats and 3 draws. Recent form does not give Umeå much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Akropolis will be a tough nut to crack.
Umeå aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 396 league minutes without a goal. B. Demte was the last player to find the net.
Umeå failed to get anything from their last game, a Superettan home match vs AFC Eskilstuna (placed 11th) that ended with defeat 0-3. The game before that, was lost at home, a 0-6 defeat against Degerfors.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Umeå as they have only managed to score 7 times from 10 away games in the league. As opposed to that, Umeå have seen the ball go into their own net 14 times on the road.
Head 2 Head
