However, they hit a major roadblock then as they embarked on a six match losing streak that sent them plummeting down the table. Fortunately, they seem to have overcome this run of form and have won their last two matches, with the first of these being a 3-0 win against Syrianska just before the summer break.
This has seen them recover some ground in the table, and Orgryte now sit in 11th position with a four point cushion over the first of the relegation playoff positions. A win could send them into 9th on Friday too.
Syrianska are having no such luck. They finished in mid-table in the Superettan last season, with their 43 point haul being enough for a 7th place finish. This season isn’t going to plan though, and just past the halfway point in the campaign they find themselves rock bottom with just 12 points to their name.
The visitors haven’t won a match since the middle of May, with five of their eight games since then ending in defeat. They only have two wins in the league this season, and both of those came on home turf. Away from they have lost four and drawn four of their eight games.
Two of Syrianska’s last five away games have seen them lose by more than a single goal too, and it was only a month ago that Orgryte thrashed them 3-0 in their own back yard. Orgryte have won two of their last five at home by more than a single goal too, and three of their five wins so far this season have been comprehensive victories.
My prediction is for an Orgryte -1.0 Asian Handicap Win at excellent value odds of 2.300, and I’m going for another 3-0 win for the hosts at 12/1 for my correct score prediction.
Orgryte have won three and drawn one of their four meetings with Syrianska.
60% of Orgryte's victories this season have been by more than a single goal, whilst 63% of Syrianska''s defeats this season have been by two goals or more.
Orgryte are expected to have a fully fit squad on Friday.
