This match features two teams living in the basement of the Superettan, Norrby holding 12th place and Dalkurd lying 14th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.
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!
This pitch has artifical turf, which is not Dalkurd's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on artifical turf Dalkurd have performed like this: Played 15 matches resulting in 4 wins, 4 draws and 7 defeats with the goal stats 18-24 (scored/conceded).
Norrby are fighting like crazy to avoid relegation and desperately need points in this fixture. Dalkurd are fighting to avoid relegation and will work hard for points.
Norrby form and stats
4 victories, 3 draws and 7 defeats. That’s what Norrby have to build on here at Borås Arena in the Superettan.
The Norrby supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host Umeå in Superettan and win 6-0. Prior to that, an away loss at Jonkopings Sodra.
As mentioned above, Norrby "killed" Umeå in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.
This is expected to be a close game, with Norrby perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Norrby as a small favourite), we find seven games. Norrby has won five of these, drawn zero and lost two.
Norrby has scored 20 league goals at home this season, in 14 matches. On the other hand, Norrby have conceded 20 goals.
Dalkurd form and stats
Dalkurd have only collected 12 points from their away games in the Superettan, after 3-3-8 (14 played).
Dalkurd aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 193 league minutes without a goal. A. Kabashi was the last player to find the net.
Dalkurd might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Trelleborg proved too strong as Dalkurd slumped to a 0-1 defeat in front of their own fans at Domnarvsvallen. Prior to that match, the Dalkurd manager P. Olausson faced defeat when travelling to Halmstad and losing 0-4.
Late heartbreak for Dalkurd in the Trelleborg match, as the deciding 0-1 goal came deep into overtime.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Dalkurd playing away and similar expectations, we found six relevant matches. Results were two Dalkurd wins, three draws and one defeat.
