National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Hudiksvall or Ytterhogdal that keep their silverware dream alive.
It's no vacation for neither Hudiksvall nor Ytterhogdal 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.
Hudiksvall form and stats
Hudiksvall was eliminated in the 1st round last season in the Svenska Cupen.The team is able to perform also as the away side, as they are nurturing a very healthy winning streak of six straight victories regardless of arena. Ever since the Kungsangen game Hudiksvall has been unbeatable here at Glysis Sparbanken Arena producing six straight wins.
The Hudiksvall supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host Kungsangen in Division 2: Norra Svealand and win 4-3. In the preceding match a 2-1 victory visiting Stocksund.
As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?
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 Hudiksvall have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found two games) they have won one time, drawn zero and lost one.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Hudiksvall as they are travelling to their away game against Enskede in the Division 2: Norra Svealand. That match is three days after this one.
Ytterhogdal form and stats
They also participated in Svenska Cupen last season. This ended in the 1st round.Ytterhogdal are on a winning streak away after three games, as mentioned below. A maximum 6 points in the bag from 2 travels in the Division 2: Norrland. Ytterhogdal are enjoying a nice run from their away games now, having played nine in a row without losing.
It's the second away game in a row for Ytterhogdal, but there's smiles all around after the 3-0 victory versus Morön in the Division 2: Norrland last time out. A loss against IFK Östersund was the result prior to that, in a Division 2: Norrland home game.
Ytterhogdal are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is zero wins, zero draws and two defeats. From a total of two matches.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Ytterhogdal manager B. Wake as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against IFK Umeå.
4 goals so far away for Ytterhogdal, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 0. All from 2 league matches away.
