Brage form and stats

When playing at home in the Superettan, Brage have managed 3 wins, 3 draws and suffered 2 defeats from 8 games.

Happy days for Brage in their previous game, a Superettan match away at Trelleborg (placed 10th) that ended with a 1-0 victory. Before that, Brage played out a draw 1-1 when visiting Umeå.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Brage's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played three games, won one match, drawn one and lost one.

Brage are traveling soon after this match as the Superettan match at Dalkurd awaits in four days.

The Brage fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 11 in 8 matches. Brage's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 8 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

GAIS form and stats

There's been little loot from GAIS's travels as they have only collected 3 points from 8 away games in the Superettan. GAIS, who have the fewest scored goals (15) in Superettan, only have 0 wins to counter their 5 defeats and 3 draws. With two straight losses from their last two away games, GAIS are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.

J. Lindberg, A. Maric and R. Yarsuvat scored in GAIS's previous match, the home game against GIF Sundsvall that ended 3-1. That result followed a home victory 2-1 versus Trelleborg.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and GAIS playing away, we found five games. Results were one away win, two draws and two home wins.

The visitors have scored 5 goals from 8 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. The GAIS manager S. Jacobsson has some worries about the defense as 18 goals have been conceded in these travels.
