The Norrby & Trelleborg managers M. Khan and D. Haynes are both dreading and eagerly anticipating this key game in the higher regions of the Superettan standings.

Insights:
  • Norrby have won at least twice as many corners as they have conceded at home.
  • Trelleborg have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

The visiting Trelleborg played their last game only four days ago, a Superettan match. That game was also an away game, at Helsingborg. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.

This field has the surface artifical turf, unlike Trelleborg's home arena. The latest 13 games by the away team on artifical turf have ended with 3 wins, 4 draws and 6 losses.

Norrby form and stats

Norrby have played 9 Superettan games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 5-2-2 (wins-draws-losses). The last three games played by Norrby, regardless of arena, have all ended draws.

Norrby manager M. Khan and his team return home after a 1-1 draw away versus Västerås SK (placed 14th) in the Superettan. W. Ärlig was able to secure the draw 1-1 in the game against Västerås SK after coming on as a substitute and scoring the final goal. In the starting lineup today?

Preceding that game was the home draw versus Vasalund that ended 0-0.

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 eight games. Norrby has won six of these, drawn zero and lost two.

Norrby are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 13 goals in 9 games. Norrby have only conceded 7 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Trelleborg form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their Superettan travels is 3 wins, 4 draws and 3 defeats.

Trelleborg are the visiting side once again, their previous game being the 1-1 draw at Helsingborg (placed 1st). The draw against Helsingborg came from a losing position. The Trelleborg manager D. Haynes brought on M. Håkansson as a substitute and the player scored to make the scores level.

That result followed a home victory 3-1 versus Brage.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Trelleborg playing away and similar expectations, we found 13 relevant matches. Results were four Trelleborg wins, five draws and four defeats.

Trelleborg have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 10 league away games 13 goals have been scored. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. 14 goals have been conceded by Trelleborg in these games.
