Venue: Umeå Energi Arena SOL (8000 seats)

The Superettan league table might not tell the truth so early on, but it's the best truth we have so far. Umeå and Öster are placed 8th and 2nd respectively.

Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Öster have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artifical turf is 4-1-4 (win-draw-loss) from nine matches.

It's time to recharge all electronic entertainment devices for Öster, who are travelling more than 1000 kilometers to play this game.

Umeå form and stats

A Superettan draw at home so far for Umeå. Last season their home statistics were 11 wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats from 15 matches.

A strong away win for Umeå against AFC Eskilstuna the last match, as B. Alexis, T. McNeil and E. Ahmetovic were on target. Before that, Umeå drew at home versus Akropolis.

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 Umeå have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found two matches with the results: Won one, drawn one and lost zero.

There will be little rest for Umeå after this match as they are travelling to Degerfors for a Superettan game in only three days.

Early season league goal statistics from Umeå's 1 home game: 1 goal, 1 conceded.
