Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Örebro & Brage face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Svenska Cupen. All the pre-match information is available here!

It's no vacation for neither Örebro 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.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Brage 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 9-6-1 (win-draw-loss) from 16 matches.

Örebro form and stats

Last season, Örebro's Svenska Cupen journey ended in the group stage.

The story so far in the Allsvenskan for Örebro at their home stadium (Behrn Arena) is 4 wins, 4 draws and 7 defeats. 2W-1D-0L is the hard facts regardless of venue in the Svenska Cupen for Örebro.

Stress levels are on the rise for Örebro's attacking players as they have now played 180 minutes without scoring in a league game. J. Bertilsson was their last goal scorer.

A draw after 90 minutes last time out for Örebro, who played 3-3 against Brage. That match was also played at this venue (Behrn Arena). Before that match, a Svenska Cupen win away at Oskarshamns AIK.

A goal frenzy last time out for Örebro, with a total of 6 goals in the match against Brage. Fun stuff to watch!

Örebro are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 20 goals in 15 games. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Örebro defense is not exactly impregnable. 25 goals conceded from 15 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Brage form and stats

They also participated in Svenska Cupen last season. This ended in the group stage.

7 wins, 4 draws and 4 losses. That’s the product of Brage playing as the away team in the Superettan this season. When we have look at the Svenska Cupen statistics, we find 1W-1D-1L. This is both home and away.

Brage has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to Örebro for a Svenska Cupen game that ended a draw (3-3). Before that, Brage secured a home win against Västerås SK with the score 2-1.

As you can tell from the result, the match against Örebro was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?

Brage are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 27 times in 15 away games so far. As opposed to that, Brage have seen the ball go into their own net 20 times on the road.
