The visiting Jönköpings Södra side should be favourites in this visit to Umeå, as the away team holds a 21 point advantage from their 21 league games this season.

Umeå and Jönköpings Södra should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.

6-4-4 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Jönköpings Södra when playing away games on artifical turf, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has grass). Their goal statistics from those 14 matches are 29-21 (scored/conceded).

Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 900 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.

Umeå form and stats

With 1 Superettan win, 5 draws and 4 defeats from their home games, Umeå, who have the fewest scored goals (19) in Superettan, are certainly not brimming with confidence. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Umeå, their manager B. Clarhaut and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.

Umeå shared the glory with Akropolis in their last match, an away game that ended all square 3-3. Preceding that match was the home game against AFC Eskilstuna that was lost 0-3.

Trouble was brewing at the score 1-3 against Akropolis last time out, but a goal from M. Mazur completed a comeback to a draw result for Umeå. A goal frenzy last time out for Umeå, with a total of 6 goals in the match against Akropolis. Fun stuff to watch!

Umeå aren't scoring a lot here at Umeå Energi Arena SOL in the league, with only 9 goals from 10 games. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Umeå defense is not exactly impregnable. 18 goals conceded from 10 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above. It's worth mentioning that 10 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
