Season ticket holders at Solid Park Arena haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Västerås SK languishing in the 12th position so far. The guesting Dalkurd will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
Västerås SK and Dalkurd should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
3-4-6 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Dalkurd when playing away games on artifical turf, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has grass). Their goal statistics from those 13 matches are 17-23 (scored/conceded).
Västerås SK form and stats
When playing at home in the Superettan, Västerås SK have managed 3 wins, 2 draws and suffered 2 defeats from 7 games. Hopes of three in a row are alive for Västerås after consecutive victories at their own ground.
No payout for Västerås in their previous match, an away game at Dalkurd that ended in defeat 2-3. Before that, Västerås played out a draw 1-1 when visiting Jonkopings Sodra.
The penalty miss from K. Safari in the defeat against Dalkurd was a source of irritation for some fans, but these things happen.
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 Västerås have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found seven games) they have won three times, drawn two and lost two.
The Västerås fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 13 goals in 7 league matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 11 goals have been conceded.
Dalkurd form and stats
There's been little loot from Dalkurd's travels as they have only collected 6 points from 8 away games in the Superettan. Dalkurd only have 1 win to counter their 4 defeats and 3 draws. Dalkurd seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?
The supporters enjoyed Dalkurd's previous game versus Västerås SK (placed 12th), a Superettan 3-2 win played at home. A 1-2 defeat away at Brage before that.
Dalkurd are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is two wins, two draws and six defeats. From a total of ten matches.
Dalkurd are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 9 away goals from 8 games (in the league). Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Dalkurd have conceded 14 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
