It's early days in the Superettan and both GIF Sundsvall and Västerås SK are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Superettan.
GIF Sundsvall form and stats
OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for GIF Sundsvall's two home games in the Superettan so far this season, having collected 4 points here at NP3 Arena.
GIF Sundsvall shared the glory with Trelleborg in their last match, an away game that ended all square 1-1. Before that, GIF Sundsvall drew at home versus Dalkurd.
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 Sundsvall have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found seven matches with the results: Won one, drawn three and lost three.
There will be little rest for GIF Sundsvall after this match as they are travelling to Orgryte for a Superettan game in only three days.
GIF Sundsvall has scored 4 goals so far and conceded 2 goals from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.
Västerås SK form and stats
Västerås SK are still undefeated on their travels in the Superettan. They have only played two games though, winning one and drawing the other. Västerås have had a generous will to share for some time now, running a streak of three draws in a row.
Västerås's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus GAIS that finished 2-2. Preceding that game, the 0-0 draw paying a visit to Oster.
Drawing 2-2 against GAIS after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 2-0. Their manager T. Askebrand needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result.
