Match begins: 11:00 (UTC)

Umeå hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 11 points and a 14th position in the Superettan table. Visiting Norrby holds 9th place with 15 pts.

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

These teams have little in common geographically as Norrby have to travel 1000 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

Umeå form and stats

Umeå's results here at Umeå Energi Arena SOL in the Superettan have been very modest with 1 victory, 3 draws and 2 defeats.

The fans are hoping that Umeå will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-2 away loss in the Superettan game against Västerås SK (placed 10th). Before that, Umeå drew at home versus Orgryte.

This is expected to be a close game, with Umeå perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Umeå as a small favourite), we find five games. Umeå has won two of these, drawn two and lost one.

Umeå has scored 7 league goals at home this season, in 6 matches. On the other hand, Umeå have conceded 7 goals.
