Wednesday night sees further action in the Swedish second tier in the Superettan with a clash between Jonkopings and Varberg as the betting tips continue at the Stadsparksvallen.
Jonkopings Prediction- Can Jonkopings return to winning ways?
Jonkopings sit in a mid-table position in the Swedish second tier in 8th place, but their recent progress up the league table has been hampered by back-to-back defeats.
Losses to Mjallby and Syrianska in 1-0 and 2-1 defeats respectively have held them back in recent matches, but both of these were away from home.
The hosts will therefore be glad to return to home turf at their Stadsparksvallen no doubt as they’ve posted an encouraging record of 3-1-1 6/2 to date.
Prior to the recent defeats, Jonkopings had registered 3 wins on the trot with victories against Oster, Brommapojkarna and Brage.
Turning to home turf, Jonkopings have won 3 of their last 4 with wins over Dalkurd, Oster and Brage while also keeping 3 clean sheets to date too.
With just 1 defeat out of their last 10 league matches at home, Jonkopings look a tough unit to beat in their own backyard.
In addition, Jonkopings have won the last 2 meetings at home on the trot against tonight’s visitors, Varberg, in 4-2 and 3-0 wins respectively.
Varberg Prediction – Can Guyana turn the market upside down?
Varberg sit top of the Swedish Superettan with a 7-point cushion over 2nd placed Mjallby, as the visitors still remain unbeaten in this season’s second tier.
The visitors make their way to Jonkoping having recently secured back-to-back home wins over GAIS 2-1 and Norrby 3-2 so they’ll be in confident mood ahead of this clash.
Towards the end of last season’s Superettan campaign, Varberg suffered 4 defeats on the trot with losses to Frej, Orgryte, Brage and Helsingborg.
However, this season has seen a transformed Varberg outfit as they racked up an impressive 7 wins on the trot to start this season’s campaign in dominating style.
Indeed, Varberg have won 10 of their first 12 league matches of the new season and they look a force to be reckoned with this term.
An away record of 4-2-0 12/5 is equally impressive which includes wins at Mjallby, Syrianska, Brage and Vasteras, along with points at Orgryte and Frej.
Varberg also possess some dangerous attacking threats in the shape of midfielder Girmai (4 goals) along with forward trio Seljmani (10 goals), Beqaj and Krezic (3 goals apiece).
