Football – Sweden – Superettan Betting Tips

Depending on how Orgryte get on against Varnamo on Wednesday night, second placed Eskilstuna could move top of the Swedish Superettan if they take all three points against early strugglers, Gefle, when the two teams clash at Tunavallen.

Eskilstuna trail Orgryte by just two points ahead of Thursday’s encounter with Gefle, and the hosts are in red hot form right now having won five of their eight matches overall, and still remain unbeaten on home turf with wins over Varnamo and Degerfors respectively.

A home record of  2-2-0  9/2 includes three clean sheets already, while the bigger picture shows that the hosts hold an unbeaten run of 11 matches at home in the Superettan. This improved run of form will be a welcome feeling for the side who finished rock bottom of the Allsvenskan at the end of last season, but they’ll be hoping for a swift return to the top flight this time around.

Visitors Gefle currently occupy third from bottom position in the Superettan and therefore also occupy one of the relegation play-off places ahead of their trip to Eskilstuna, on the back of four league matches without a win.

Gefle have drawn one (0-0 away at GAIS) but lost three on the trot (1-3 at home to Halmstad, 3-1 away at Orgryte and 1-2 at home to Jonnkopings Sodra), while away from home they’ve managed to win just once in their last six on the road.

That rare win for Gefle was at 13th placed Norrby, byt they’re expected to have their work cut out ahead of their clash with AFC Eskilstuna with the hosts building up a head of steam and looking for a quick return to the Allsvenskan.
