Frej are welcoming GAIS for another important game after their 3-0 result against 13th-placed Syrianska.

Frej and GAIS should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.

This stadium uses artificial turf, unlike GAIS's home stadium. The visitors last twelve games on artificial turf have ended in 3 wins, 3 draws and 6 losses.

Frej form and stats

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Superettan this season. Frej, who have the fewest points (8) at home in Superettan, have only managed 1 win, 5 draws and 5 losses from their games here at Vikingavallen. Frej are slowly digging their own grave here at Vikingavallen with the depressing streak of not having won a home game in nine attempts. The last victory here came in the Öster match.

Frej are returning here after visiting Syrianska in a Superettan game and winning with a 3-0 scoreline. A defeat was the result before that one, 1-2 away at Mjällby.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Frej have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found seven matches with the results: Won 3 Drawn 4 Lost 0.

Frej has scored 15 league goals at home this season, in 11 matches. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Frej with 23 goals conceded in these matches.

GAIS form and stats

3 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses. That’s the product of GAIS playing as the away team in the Superettan this season.

There were no winners in GAIS's previous match, a Superettan home game that ended 1-1 vs Halmstad (placed 10th). Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Brage that ended 1-1.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with GAIS playing away and similar expectations, we found four relevant matches. Results were 1 GAIS win, 2 draws and 1 defeat.

A new game in only four days for GAIS, the Superettan home match versus Örgryte. Busy days.

The attacking power of GAIS when travelling is not overwhelming with 10 goals scored from 11 league matches away. As opposed to that, GAIS have seen the ball go into their own net 15 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

GAIS - Frej 0-1 was the story when these teams last met, earlier this season. Head-to-head totals (for the last ten meetings): Frej won 3 games, 1 match ended with a draw and GAIS has 6 wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: 3 / 7
