IK Brage vs AFC Eskilstuna Predictions

• Brage have lost just once at home in league action this season.
• Brage’s last three home H2H victories came with just a single goal margin.
• Only Ostersund’s are on a longer run of straight away defeats than Eskilstuna.

Consistency can see Brage to the top

While Brage are enjoying a much improved season than when they finished in the bottom half last year, it is only by luck that they remain within striking distance of the top of the table after winning just two of their last five games.

No side in the division has a winning run longer than two currently active, so any consistency that Brage can find will surely lift them above the rest. This game could be a good opportunity to do exactly that as they welcome a poor-travelling Eskilstuna, who’ve lost three straight away trips ahead of this.

The visitors remain on the peripheries of the top-three though and have at least scored in two of their current three-game losing run away from home, so they won’t simply turn up and roll over for Brage in this encounter.

Bursting into life

Brage boss Kleber Saarenpaa interestingly played out three straight 0-0 draws in his first encounters with Eskilstuna before three of the following four to this point saw goals at both ends (W2, D3, L2).

We expect that trend to continue here with a home win but Eskilstuna at least finding themselves on the scoresheet in a possible 2-1 scoreline.
