AFC Eskilstuna form and stats

AFC Eskilstuna have only collected 1 point from their away games in the Superettan, after 0-1-5 (6 played). Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in twelve away games in a row. Recent form does not give Eskilstuna much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Trelleborg will be a tough nut to crack.

AFC Eskilstuna might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Akropolis proved too strong as AFC Eskilstuna slumped to a 1-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Tunavallen. A 1-2 defeat away at Ljungskile before that.

Looking at the earlier recent performances of AFC Eskilstuna when being an outsider away as they are today, we find three matches with the visitors losing one time, drawing one and winning one game.

AFC Eskilstuna are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 3 goals from 6 away games. Eskilstuna are struggling defensively in their away games, having conceded 3 goals in these matches.

Head 2 Head

Last six meetings between the teams: Trelleborg won three, AFC Eskilstuna won one and two draws. two games with over 2,5 goals, four matches with two goals or less.
