Vasteras SK vs IK Frej Predictions

Vasteras and Frej are in danger of slipping into the relegation zone this weekend, so will both no doubt be aiming for a win on Saturday. The visitors have an extra point on the board, a good recent record against Vasteras, and have form in their favour, but there hasn’t been much between the pair so far this season.

Vasteras were lucky to come away from their trip to Halmstad with a share of the spoils after the hosts had 66% of the overall possession, eleven corners to their guests two, and fourteen shots to Vasteras’ seven, but the game ended goalless. Frej took the lead away at Degerfors last time out through Zé Vitor, but the teams went in level at the break after the hosts equalised in the twenty-first minute. A brace from Frithzell moved Frej two goals clear of their hosts, and despite Degerfors pulling a goal back late on the visitors held on to secure an impressive 3-2 win on the road.

The recent head to head record between these two clubs, and their performances and results in the Superettan over the last six matches, suggest a low scoring game and make a double chance bet on the visitors well worth backing this weekend. Frej are unbeaten in their last three matches against Vasteras, the visitors have drawn two, won two, and lost one of their last five matches against their hosts, and three of the last four encounters between the pair have produced under 2.5 goals. Vasteras haven’t won any of their last six matches, while Frej have only lost one of their last six matches. Under 2.5 goals were produced in four of Vasteras’ and three of Frej’s last five matches, which is why we’re backing a 1-0 win for the visitors this weekend.

Safari has three goals in the league this season and is the only Vasteras player to have scored more than once so far, while Frithzell moved onto five Superettan goals for the campaign with a brace last time out for Frej. We’re confident that a double chance bet on Frej will payout this weekend, and have predicted a 1-0 win for the visitors. Frej are in better form and have had the beating of Vasteras over the last couple of seasons, while the hosts are struggling for form but have drawn a lot of games of late which is why the double chance bet makes sense over an outright bet on Frej to win.
