National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Österlen or IFK Göteborg that keep their silverware dream alive.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Österlen form and stats
Österlen have not come this way in the Svenska Cupen without some hard work on the way, more precisely defeating IFK Malmö. Last season their Svenska Cupen adventure ended in the 1st round.With seven home Division 1: South games in a row without a win, the Österlen fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the IFK Hassleholm game long ago, can be stopped today.
No payout for Österlen in their previous match, an away game at Assyriska Turabdin that ended in defeat 0-3.
Preceding that match was the home Division 1: South game against Utsikten that was lost 1-8.Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Vanersborgs IF are coming to town in four days.
IFK Göteborg form and stats
Göteborg's mission in Svenska Cupen last season failed in the group stage.2 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss. That’s the product of IFK Göteborg playing as the away team in the Allsvenskan this season.
Göteborg play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 3-2 victory visiting Malmö FF. Giannis Anestis was the team player of the game with the player rating of 8.14. The agile goalkeeper Anestis stopped the opponent with nine saves. Goalkeeper Giannis Anestis was absolutely vital in the IFK Göteborg victory against Malmö FF, making nine saves. Late drama in the previous game, when Tobias Sana scored the winning goal nine minutes into stoppage time to defeat Malmö FF.
A draw for Göteborg before that, at their own venue hosting Hammarby (0-0).Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Göteborg have scored 7 goals in 7 league games away. As opposed to that, Göteborg have seen the ball go into their own net 7 times on the road.
