Falkenberg form and stats

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Superettan this season. Falkenberg have only managed 2 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses from their games here at Falcon Alkoholfri Arena. Their last two home games have resulted in two points, meaning they were both draws.

Happy days for Falkenberg in their previous game, a Svenska Cupen match away at Oddevold (after extra-time) that ended with a 3-2 victory.

Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Vasalund (1-3).

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams.

Trelleborg form and stats

As the visiting team in Superettan matches, Trelleborg have produced an overall stat of 3-3-2 so far.

Did you know that the longest clean sheet streak is 1816 minutes? This record is held by Mazaropi when he played in Vasco da Gama. Trelleborg goalkeeper Kasper Kristensen is eager to challenge this, with his 398 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.

Two travels in a row for Trelleborg, whose manager D. Haynes could celebrate last time after the Svenska Cupen win against Rosengård. It was a convincing performance from Trelleborg when Rosengård were beaten. The team "killed" the match in the first half leading 3-0 and the second half was comfortable. K. Larsson, M. Håkansson and D. Kozica scored their goals.

That result followed a home victory 1-0 versus GAIS in the Superettan.
