Vasteras vs Norrkoping Prediction & Match Preview

Vasteras vs Norrkoping Prediction

A run of five matches across all competitions and just one point from five league matches has left Norrkoping clutching at straws at the bottom of the league after 13 league matches. They currently sit 15th on the log, with three points ahead of Vasteras Sk who are rock bottom. This is the kind of fixture a lot would like to call a relegation three-pointer seeing how terrible both sides have been coming into this tie.

Norrkoping has the worst defensive record in the league having conceded 35 goals and scoring 16. They have managed just three wins this season, one more than the hosts, Vasteras SK. Surprisingly, the hosts have a better defensive structure and would rank top ten in the league, having conceded 16 goals, however, on the other side of the pitch, they have been poor. They have found it hard scoring goals with just 9 goals to their name this season and one may argue that might be a contributing factor to their defeats this season.

In recent form, the hosts come into this game a lot better with five points from as many games, unlike the visitors who have only one point from their last five matches. In recent head-to-head meetings, Norrkoping has won three and secured a draw in their past five meetings. In each of their last five trips to Vasteras, all outside of the Swedish Allsvenskan (Suppertan & Cup matches), they have won four matches, an impressive record. It is the first time they are meeting in the league and Vasteras will be hoping to secure a win at home in this tie.

Norrkoping will be all out to put an end to their slump and losing run, however, it will be hard to bet against a Vasteras who have been in better form and seeking their first home win against Norrkoping. That explains why we are tilting towards Vasteras SK for a home win. Knowing Norrkoping’s poor defensive record in the league (and Vasteras’ poor offensive record) we can understand why punters might want to avoid going for both teams to score, however, we are tipping both teams to go toe to toe with scoring, with two of their last five meetings ending with both teams scoring. 

We would also suggest over 2.5 goals for this tie seeing Norrkoping particularly have a thing for games with over 2.5 goals and also seeing that each of their last five meetings has seen at least two goals scored.
