It's early days in the Superettan and both Västerås SK and Ljungskile are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Västerås and Ljungskile.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Ljungskile have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artifical turf is 2-4-3 (win-draw-loss) from nine matches.
Västerås SK form and stats
Västerås SK have less points than they have played home games in the Superettan so far. Their two previous attempts here have produced 2 points. Västerås SK have played two draws in a row on their own stadium.
Västerås faced defeat in their previous match, away at GIF Sundsvall (1-3). Preceding that game was the home draw versus GAIS that ended 2-2.
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 Västerås's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played three games, won two matches, drawn zero and lost one.
Early season league goal statistics from Västerås SK's 2 home games: 4 goals, 4 conceded.
Ljungskile form and stats
The Superettan season is young and Ljungskile have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 2 away games done and still no victory. 1 draw and 1 defeat so far.
The manager J. Wålemark was unhappy after their last game, a Superettan match played at their home ground Uddevalla Arena. Ljungskile suffered a 1-3 loss to Brage (placed 6th). A 2-2 draw at Norrby's stadium before that.
Looking at the earlier recent performances of Ljungskile when being an outsider away as they are today, we find one match with the visitors losing one time, drawing zero and winning zero games.
It's early days yet, but Ljungskile has scored 3 and conceded 4 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last four meetings: one - one - two (Västerås SK wins - draws - Ljungskile wins). As for goals, three matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), one had two or less.Top Goalscorers
