This duo has had some difficulties so far, but a win and three points in this highly important fixture would definitely help. Prepare for Brage - Vasalund!

Insights:
  • Vasalund have the fewest scored goals in the first half (4) in Superettan

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

This stadium has grass, which is not Vasalund's everyday surface at their own pitch. When playing on grass Vasalund have performed like this: Played 28 matches with the outcome 13 wins, 3 draws and 12 defeats with the goal data 58-54 (scored/conceded).

Brage form and stats

When playing at home in the Superettan, Brage have managed 3 wins, 2 draws and suffered 5 defeats from 10 games.

Brage manager K. Saarenpää and his team return home after a 0-0 draw away versus Jönköpings Södra (placed 7th) in the Superettan.

Preceding that match was a defeat to GAIS (1-4).

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Brage have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 17 games) they have won eight times, drawn five and lost four.

Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Superettan game versus Oster in only four days. This game is also played here at Domnarvsvallen.

The Brage fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 11 in 10 matches. Brage have conceded 16 from these games.
