Norrby and Örgryte have both delivered a "par" performance so far, to use a golfing expression. Both hold mid-table positions in the Superettan.

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!

3 - 4 - 3 with 11-12. What does this mean? Well, these are the statistics for Örgryte when playing on artifical turf like they will do today. Wins - draws- losses and goals scored-conceded. Örgryte play their home games on grass so that's why we provide these numbers.

Norrby form and stats

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Superettan this season. Norrby have only managed 1 win, 3 draws and 2 losses from their games here at Borås Arena. Norrby are very eager to stop a potential losing streak at Borås Arena, having lost their two previous games here.

Norrby travelled for their previous game, a trip to Umeå that ended 1-1. Ahead of that match, Norrby lost 1-3 at home to Trelleborg.

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 five games. Norrby has won three of these, drawn zero and lost two.

The Norrby fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 8 in 6 matches. Norrby's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 8 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Örgryte form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Örgryte so far with only 6 points returning home. The records show 1-3-3 (win-draw-lose). It's three draws from Örgryte's last three away games, a decent catch but one that could be so much better.

Did you know that the longest clean sheet streak is 1816 minutes? This record is held by Mazaropi when he played in Vasco da Gama. Örgryte goalkeeper Fredrik Andersson is eager to challenge this, with his 180 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.

Örgryte has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to GAIS for a Superettan game that ended a draw (0-0). Prior to that match, a home win 2-0 against Jonkopings Sodra.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Örgryte playing away and similar expectations, we found eight relevant matches. Results were four Örgryte wins, two draws and two defeats.

Örgryte find the net regularly in their away games. 7 goals from 7 away fixtures in the league. Örgryte's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 11 goals from these trips.

Head 2 Head

As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's two Norrby victories, four draws and four Örgryte wins. Over/under statistics; six of these games ended with three goals or more, four matches with two goals or less.
