Season ticket holders at Uddevalla Arena haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Ljungskile languishing in the 15th position so far. The guesting Öster will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

Ljungskile form and stats

2 victories, 2 draws and 2 defeats. That’s what Ljungskile, who have the most conceded goals (28) in Superettan, have to build on here at Uddevalla Arena in the Superettan.

No payout for Ljungskile in their previous match, an away game at Degerfors that ended in defeat 1-4. Ahead of that match, Ljungskile won a home game hosting AFC Eskilstuna (2-1).

A decent goal production from Ljungskile in their home games so far, with 9 goals from 6 league matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Ljungskile defense is not exactly impregnable. 9 goals conceded from 6 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Öster form and stats

There's been little loot from Öster's travels as they have only collected 6 points from 6 away games in the Superettan. Öster only have 1 win to counter their 2 defeats and 3 draws.

The supporters enjoyed Öster's previous game versus Brage (placed 7th), a Superettan 4-2 win played at home. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Halmstad wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.

As you can tell from the result, the match against Brage was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Öster as they have only managed to score 4 times from 6 away games in the league. Öster have conceded 7 goals in these away matches.

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: three wins for Ljungskile, three draws and four wins for Öster. Over 2,5 goals: four times; under 2,5 goals: six games.
