National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Östersunds FK or Akropolis that keep their silverware dream alive.

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

13-4-2 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Akropolis when playing away games on artifical turf, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has grass). Their goal statistics from those 19 matches are 44-24 (scored/conceded).

Östersunds FK form and stats

Last season their Svenska Cupen adventure ended in the group stage.

Östersunds FK's results here at Jämtkraft Arena in the Allsvenskan have been very modest with 2 victories, 4 draws and 9 defeats. It's trouble wherever Östersunds are playing these days as they have suffered six straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways. The season ticket holders are starting to dread their visits here at Jämtkraft Arena, with the home team losing four in a row. They have not avoided a defeat here since the Djurgården game.

Stress levels are on the rise for Östersunds FK's attacking players as they have now played 301 minutes without scoring in a league game. B. Turgott was their last goal scorer.

Prior to that, an away loss at Malmö FF in the Allsvenskan.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Östersunds as they are travelling to their away game against Mjallby in the Svenska Cupen. That match is four days after this one.

Östersunds aren't scoring a lot here at Jämtkraft Arena in the league, with only 12 goals from 15 games. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Östersunds FK defense is not exactly impregnable. 27 goals conceded from 15 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Akropolis form and stats

Akropolis was sent out of Svenska Cupen in the 2nd round last season.

The visitors are W5-D6-L4 on the road this term. That's in the Superettan.

A new game in only four days for Akropolis, the Svenska Cupen home match versus Landskrona. Busy days.

Akropolis have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 15 league away games 20 goals have been scored. As opposed to that, Akropolis have seen the ball go into their own net 20 times on the road. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only -1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.

Head 2 Head

Last two meetings between the teams: Östersunds won two, Akropolis won zero and zero draws. one game with over 2,5 goals, one match with two goals or less.
