IFK Varnamo vs Mjallby Predictions

• Varnamo have failed to win any of their last six home league games
• The home side have kept just one clean sheet in their last nine league matches on their own patch
• Seven of Mjallby’s last nine Allsvenskan matches have featured at least three goals

Home woes are costing Varnamo

Varnamo have had a rather disappointing start to the Swedish season, head into this weekend’s fixtures 11th in the table and it is not difficult to see where their problems are.

They have taken just one point from their five home games to date and this looks like another tough assignment against Mjallby, who should be pretty content to be fourth in the standings at this stage.

The home team will think they could have turned the corner after winning 4-0 at Norkopping last week, but they tend to freeze in front of their own fans, so look vulnerable

Mjallby could be turning corner on the road

Admittedly, Mjallby have not been pulling up any trees on their travels and have lost three of their last four games on the road, but they could be about to turn the corner.

They have scored in 11 of their last 14 away matches and the fact they were only beaten by a late goal at IFK Gothenburg last time there were on their travels encourages the view that they could be about to turn the corner.

Varnamo’s home record suggests this could be the week and with seven of their last nine games having produced three or more goals, correct-score punters may wish to take a chance on a 2-1 away victory.
