Varberg form and stats

Varberg, who have the fewest conceded goals (1) at home in Superettan, have played 4 games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 4-0-0 (wins-draws-losses). Varberg haven’t lost a game in eleven attempts regardless of arena, a great achievement. Their last loss was the fixture versus Dalkurd. After failing to beat Eskilsminne here at Påskbergsvallen, Varberg has put together a very nice winning streak on their own turf with four wins in a row.

Varberg manager J. Persson and his team return home after a 1-1 draw away versus Frej in the Superettan. Previous to that game, a home match hosting Halmstad in a game that was won 1-0.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Varberg have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found four games) they have won 3 times, drawn 1 and lost 0.

Goals decide football matches and Varberg are scoring many of them at home; 9 on target from 4 matches. Varberg have showed great defending skills in their home games, allowing the opposition to score only 1 goal.
