Akropolis form and stats

There's been little loot from Akropolis's travels as they have only collected 6 points from 8 away games in the Superettan. Akropolis only have 1 win to counter their 4 defeats and 3 draws.

It's the second away game in a row for Akropolis, but there's smiles all around after the 2-1 victory versus Lidingö (after extra-time) in the Svenska Cupen last time out. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager G. Christopoulos when A. Stadler scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 90th minute.

A 0-3 loss hosting Helsingborg before that.

Looking at the earlier recent performances of Akropolis when being an outsider away as they are today, we find four matches with the visitors losing two times, drawing one and winning one game.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Akropolis as they have only managed to score 7 times from 8 away games in the league. As for defending, Akropolis rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 14 goals from these away matches.
