All the facts and stats for the Svenska Cupen clash: Värmbols - Norrköping

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.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Norrköping have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 13-4-9 (win-draw-loss) from 26 matches.

Värmbols form and stats

This is not the first game this season in the Svenska Cupen for Värmbols, as the manager J. Melle led his troops to eliminate Örebro Syrianska, and reach the 2nd Round. Värmbols was eliminated in the 1st round last season in the Svenska Cupen.

It's back home for Värmbols, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Rynninge away with the result 7-0. As indicated by the result mentioned above, Värmbols played a great game against Rynninge and beat them comfortably. Expectations are high for this one.

Ahead of that match, Värmbols lost 0-1 at home to Arameiska / Syrianska.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Eskilstuna City are coming to town in three days.

Norrköping form and stats

They also participated in Svenska Cupen last season. This ended in the quarter-finals.

The visitors are W4-D0-L4 on the road this term. That's in the Allsvenskan. Norrköping has recorded two wins in a row in their away matches and hold legitimate hopes of a third one.

Two travels in a row for Norrköping, whose manager R. Norling could celebrate last time after the Allsvenskan win against Östersunds FK. Henrik Castegren, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 8.3. Castegren won 7 of 8 duels. Christoffer Nyman came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against Östersunds FK last time out, making the manager R. Norling feel like a tactical genius.

The game before that, in the Allsvenskan, was lost at home, a 1-2 defeat against Kalmar.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Norrköping manager R. Norling as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Halmstad.

Norrköping have scored 10 goals on their travels this season, from 8 away games in the league. Norrköping have conceded 8 goals in these away matches.
