Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Örgryte in 8th and Brage in 7th place.
There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Svenska Cupen game only four days ago. That game was also an away game, at Vasalund. 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.
Örgryte form and stats
6-1-3 (win-draw-lost) are the Superettan numbers at home for Örgryte so far this season.
Örgryte's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-2 versus GAIS (placed 9th). Before that, Örgryte played out a draw 1-1 when visiting Trelleborg.
This is expected to be a close game, with Örgryte perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Örgryte as a small favourite), we find seven games. Örgryte has won three of these, drawn two and lost two.
Örgryte have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Gamla Ullevi with 15 goals in 10 league matches. On the other hand, Örgryte have conceded 11 goals.
Brage form and stats
As the visiting team in Superettan matches, Brage have produced an overall stat of 4-2-4 so far.
The game before that, in the Superettan, was lost at home, a 1-2 defeat against Oster.
As mentioned above, Brage was the only team on the pitch versus Vasalund in their previous game, winning 5-0. This could be a tougher task.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found eight similar matches played by Brage in our archives, and the results are: three wins for Brage, three draws and two defeats.
Brage have scored 13 goals on their travels this season, from 10 away games in the league. Brage's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 16 goals from these trips.
Head 2 Head
Brage - Örgryte 3-2 was the story when these teams last met, earlier this season. Head-to-head totals (for the last nine meetings): Örgryte won four games, two matches ended with a draw and Brage has three wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: five / fourTop Goalscorers
