The visiting Brage side should be favourites in this visit to Västerås SK, as the away team holds a 8 point advantage from their ten league games this season.
It's no vacation for neither Västerås nor Brage as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
This stadium uses artifical turf, unlike Brage's home stadium. The visitors last twelve games on artifical turf have ended in 7 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss.
Västerås SK form and stats
The story so far in the Superettan for Västerås SK, who have the most conceded goals (10) at home in Superettan, at their home stadium (Solid Park Arena) is 1 win, 2 draws and 2 defeats. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Västerås SK with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Ljungskile game, 26 days ago, have they avoided a loss. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Västerås, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.
Västerås SK are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 1-2 away versus Orgryte. Preceding that match was a defeat to Halmstad (2-3).
This is expected to be a close game, with Västerås SK perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Västerås SK as a small favourite), we find four games. Västerås SK has won one of these, drawn two and lost one.
The Västerås fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 9 goals in 5 league matches. Västerås have conceded 10 goals in these home games, a significant number.

A. Zetterström and L. Pllana (2) scored in Brage's previous match, the home game against Trelleborg that ended 3-0. Ahead of that game was the 1-1 draw at home against Akropolis.
It was a convincing performance from Brage when Trelleborg were beaten. The team "killed" the match in the first half leading 3-0 and the second half was comfortable. A. Zetterström and L. Pllana (2) scored their goals.
