Örgryte form and stats

Örgryte's struggle is real here at Gamla Ullevi with only 8 points collected from 9 Superettan games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-5-3. The home fans are hungry for more even though Örgryte have been steadily collecting points here at Gamla Ullevi through three straight draws.

It's back home for Örgryte, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Dalkurd away with the result 2-1. Dahlqvist and Lundberg found the net in that victory.

A strong away win before that one, visiting Örebro and winning 1-0.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Örgryte have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 13 matches with the results: Won 4, drawn 3 and lost 6.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Örgryte as they are travelling to their away game against Västerås SK in the Superettan. That match is four days after this one.

Örgryte are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 12 goals in 9 games. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 14 goals have been conceded.
