  • Vasalund have the most conceded goals (22) in Superettan

These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Superettan. That game was an away game at Helsingborg, so at least Värnamo are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

Vasalund form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Vasalund so far with only 3 points returning home. The records show 1-0-5 (win-draw-lose). Recent form does not give Vasalund much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Värnamo will be a tough nut to crack.

There might be some fixture complaints from Vasalund as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the Superettan match against Orgryte (1-3).

A 0-3 loss hosting Landskrona before that.

Vasalund are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is three wins, one draw and five defeats. From a total of nine matches.

Vasalund are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 10 times in 6 away games so far. The opposition has been scoring high and low on Vasalund's goalkeeper in away games this season, as they have let in 16 goals in 6 travels.
