Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Boden & Västerås SK face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Svenska Cupen. All the pre-match information is available here!
Västerås SK could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Superettan game only four sleeps ago.
These teams have little in common geographically as Västerås SK have to travel 900 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Boden form and stats
This is not the first game this season in the Svenska Cupen for Boden, as the manager C. Samuelsson led his troops to eliminate Team Thoren, and reach the 2nd Round.Boden have collected 13 points from their Division 2: Norrland home games so far after 4-1-0.
The spoils were shared in Boden's previous game, also at home. Visiting Piteå travelled back with a draw after a 0-0 scoreline. In the game before, an away victory in the Division 2: Norrland match versus Sandviks with a 1-0 scoreline.
There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Boden, as the Division 2: Norrland home game vs Ytterhogdal is only four days away.
Boden are showing their attacking force in their league home games this season, scoring more than 2,5 goals per game on average (13 goals in 5 games). Boden are not conceding a lot of goals here at Boden Arena in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 4 from 5 matches.
Västerås SK form and stats
Västerås was sent out of Svenska Cupen in the group stage last season.The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Västerås SK so far with only 5 points returning home. The records show 1-2-7 (win-draw-lose). Three consecutive losses in away matches means Västerås SK are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.
There were no winners in Västerås's previous match, a Superettan home game that ended 2-2 vs Jönköpings Södra. Preceding that game, the 0-1 loss visiting GAIS's place.
Västerås's last match (vs Jönköpings Södra) ended in drama as all points looked lost at the score 0-2. They did not give up, fought back and in the end a courageous finish rescued a draw after 90 minutes thanks to a 90th minute equalizer by D. Engström.
The attacking power of Västerås when travelling is not overwhelming with 7 goals scored from 10 league matches away. Västerås's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 16 goals from these trips.
