Sirius and Malmo meet at the Studenternas IP, in Uppsala, in a game to count for the 12th day of the Swedish championship. In the last match in this stadium, Mamo beat Sirius by 0-4.
Sirius:
The Sirius comes to this game with a defeat in their stadium against Sundsvall, by 1-3, adding a lousy series of 10 consecutive games without beating in this competition: the only goal of the team was marked by Maholli. At this moment the local team occupies the 16th and last position of the championship, with 5 points won, the result of 1 win, 2 draws and 9 losses.
In the 6 games played against the fans, the players of coach Kim Bergstrand scored on average 1.17 goals and suffered 2.67 goals per game, that is, they present great weaknesses in both sectors, especially in the defense. Of note that the worst period of Sirius is between the 76 ‘and the 90’ game, when he scored 2 goals and suffered 7.
For acting against a team with more quality, the local coach should enter the field with a more cautious strategy, exploring only the counterattack: Ian Sirelius is a very competent player in the offensive transition. On the other hand, Moses Ogbu is one of the best Sirius scorers in the championship, with 2 goals scored. For this game the local coach can not count on the injured Ahmadi and Jarl.
Malmö:
The Malmo comes to this day with a draw on the final day against Dalkrud, by 1-1, thus adding the following game without losing in this competition: the only goal of the team was marked by Strandberg. At this time the visitor formation occupies the 10th position of the championship, with 15 points won, the result of 4 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses.
In the 6 games played away from home the Malmo team scored an average of 1 goal and suffered 2.17 goals per game, demonstrating, like the rival, huge difficulties in the defensive sector. It is important to note that the worst period of the visitors is between 31 ‘and 45’ of play, when they suffered 4 goals and did not score any.
In this game away from home, coach Daniel Andersson must play in 4-4-2, privileging possession of the ball and positional attacks: Strandberg will be the team’s master, being responsible for creating and organizing the offensive process. On the other hand, Rosenberg is one of the best markers of Malmo, with 4 goals scored. For this game the visiting coach can count on all his players.
