Vasalund are keen to add to their points total at their own ground in this upcoming match against Akropolis.

Insights:
  • Vasalund have the most scored goals in the second half (23) in Superettan
  • Akropolis have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

It should be mentioned that Akropolis play their home matches on grass, so they have to adjust for this one as it's played on artifical turf. Does it matter? Recent statistics for Akropolis on artifical turf are 12 victories, 5 draws and 2 defeats from 19 games. In these matches they have a goal statistics scored/conceded: 40-24. You can compare this with overall results below.

Vasalund form and stats

Vasalund have collected 13 points from their Superettan home games so far after 4-1-5. The Vasalund manager R. Björknesjö might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.

Happy days for Vasalund in their previous game, a Superettan match away at AFC Eskilstuna (placed 10th) that ended with a 2-1 victory. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of R. Björknesjö when A. Andue scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 83rd minute.

Preceding that match was a defeat to GIF Sundsvall (1-2).

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

The Vasalund fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 15 goals in 10 league matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 16 goals have been conceded.

Akropolis form and stats

Akropolis have only collected 10 points from their away games in the Superettan, after 2-4-5 (11 played).

The manager G. Christopoulos was unhappy after their last game, a Superettan match played at their home ground Spånga IP. Akropolis suffered a 0-2 loss to Västerås SK (placed 12th).

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Orgryte wasn't a success with a 1-3 loss.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Akropolis playing away and similar expectations, we found eight relevant matches. Results were two Akropolis wins, six draws and zero defeats.

A new game in only four days for Akropolis, the Superettan home match versus Jonkopings Sodra. Busy days.

Akropolis find the net regularly in their away games. 12 goals from 11 away fixtures in the league. Akropolis's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 20 goals from these trips.
