The manager J. Persson looks to inspire Varberg win against Norrby

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Norrby have a different surface at their stadium (artificial turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 10-8-16 (win-draw-loss) from 34 matches.

Varberg form and stats

6-0-0 is the performance here at Påskbergsvallen so far, giving Varberg a total of 18 from their 6 games here. Outstanding results! Varberg has a nice streak going on as they have played 13 consecutive games without losing (regardless of home/away). They are keen to extend their tally, a streak that began after the Dalkurd defeat. Varberg has won so many consecutive home games (six in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at Påskbergsvallen. We remember; it was Eskilsminne.

Varberg's last game was hosting Norrby and winning 3-2. Ahead of that match, Varberg won a home game hosting GAIS (2-1).

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Varberg's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played two games, won 1 match, drawn 0 and lost 1.

With an average of more than two goals per home game (14 in 6 games), Varberg's attacking play is working. Varberg have only conceded 4 in these games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Norrby form and stats

Norrby play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 2-3 to Varberg. A draw for Norrby before that, at their own venue hosting Dalkurd (0-0).

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day.
