Final reasons

Vasalund/Essinge should be the clear favourite here and we doubt that they will have any problems to score against this Sirius team that seems to have wide open doors in the defence when playing away. Now the Sirius defence is disturbed by an injury on an important defender and that sounds good in our ears. We stake 3% on the home win.

 

General comment about the game

Vasalund/Essinge IF welcomes Sirius from Uppsala to a Monday evening clash in one of six Swedish Division 2 series. Vasalund has started the new season in a promising way and after five rounds they are table toppers with 10 points. Two of the wins have been taken on the road and at home they have one victory and one draw. Vasalund lost the last game away to Visby Gute with 1-0, after Visby scoring on a free kick in the second half. In first half both teams created a number of chances but they lacked the ability to put the final touch to the ball. In the second half it was much less chances, and consequently the only goal had to be from a fixed situation.

 

Sirius has been quite a disappointment this year with only six points from the first five games. Their main problem seems to be the defence since they already has let in 17 goals. 10 of these goals have been conceded on their two away games. The loss away to one of the favourites Valsta Syrianska in the second round is not so surprising, but the other away loss with 6-2 against Tyresö is not impressing. Good news for Sirius is that they won last game with 5-3 after being up 5-1 when there was only 15 minutes left. The game was played against Vallentuna that so far is one of the worst teams in the league. Sirius played well during most part of the game but in the dying minutes they fell back to a more shaky behaviour. To this game Sirius has defender Einar Brekkan out with injury and of course this won’t boost an already weak and struggling defence.
