Struggling Trelleborg will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Akropolis in the upcoming league round. It’s 12th vs 5th and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Trelleborg form and stats
When playing at home in the Superettan, Trelleborg have managed 3 wins, 5 draws and suffered 3 defeats from 11 games. Two draws in a row at home now for Trelleborg.
The spoils were shared in Trelleborg's previous game, also at home. Visiting Norrby (placed 10th) travelled back with a draw after a 2-2 scoreline. A strong away win before that one, visiting Torns (after extra-time) and winning 3-2.
Late drama in the game against Norrby as Trelleborg were trailing by a goal near the finishing line until O. Johansson popped out and made it level in the 84th minute.
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 Trelleborg have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found nine matches with the results: Won four, drawn three and lost two.
Trelleborg has scored 13 league goals at home this season, in 11 matches. On the other hand, Trelleborg have conceded 11 goals.
Akropolis form and stats
As the visiting team in Superettan matches, Akropolis have produced an overall stat of 4-4-2 so far. With three draws in a row for Akropolis the feeling in the team is perhaps one of both relief and disappointment.
There were no winners in Akropolis's previous match, a Superettan home game that ended 3-3 vs Umeå (placed 15th). Ahead of that match was the victory versus Forward at their stadium, the result 3-0.
Drawing 3-3 against Umeå after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 3-1. Their manager G. Christopoulos needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result. A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Akropolis, as mentioned above. 6 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun?
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Akropolis playing away and similar expectations, we found eight relevant matches. Results were four Akropolis wins, four draws and zero defeats.
Akropolis have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 10 league away games 14 goals have been scored. 13 goals have been conceded by Akropolis in these games.
