Superettan preview: Can Norrby edge out victory against Syrianska?

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

Norrby form and stats

Norrby are steadily winning games and points here at Borås Arena. 4 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat is the summary from 6 games.

Norrby's previous game was a Superettan match also played at home, ending 3-2 versus Syrianska. The home side are looking to build on that result. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Varberg (2-3).

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent.

Norrby have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Borås Arena with 11 goals in 6 matches. Norrby have conceded 10 from these games.

Syrianska form and stats

There's been little loot from Syrianska's travels as they have only collected 5 points from 7 away games. Syrianska only have 1 win to counter their 4 defeats and 2 draws. Three consecutive losses in away matches means Syrianska are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Syrianska, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 2-3 versus Norrby. Before that, Syrianska secured a home win against Jonkopings Sodra with the score 2-1.

We have checked recent matches where Syrianska have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those four games were W1-D1-L2.
