AFC Eskilstuna vs Kalmar FF Predictions

Two of the bottom four in the Allsvenskan meet on Saturday, with three crucial points on the line. Can AFC Eskilstuna pick up from their terrible start and move away from the bottom? Or will the visitors add another three points to their tally to leave AFC rooted to the bottom? Both sides are chasing the win to boost their chances of staying up, but could the pressure of needing to avoid defeat in such a big game leave them both playing on the back foot?

The hosts are yet to hit double figures in the Allsvenskan table, with just eight points from 14 matches. That poor return has left them set for the drop this term, but there’s still time for them to turn things around. Back to back draws have got them on slightly steadier ground, but the hosts need to start winning games. They’ve won just once all season, in the opening game. They’re now 13 games without a victory, so that’s something they need to fix soon.

The visitors aren’t that much better off, as they’ve claimed only two wins so far this season. However, they’ve managed to just about stay away from danger through draws. They’ve drawn seven matches in the league this term, with the majority of their wins coming against the very best in the Allsvenskan. They’ve avoided defeat in four of their seven trips this season, which is enough to mark them out as the favourites going into this clash on Saturday.

However, Kalmar can’t win this clash if they can’t score in this trip. They head into this game as one of the lowest scoring sides in the division, level with Eskilstuna at the bottom of the scoring charts. They’ve scored just four goals on their travels this term, while they’ve failed to find the net in their last four outings on the road. Overall, Kalmar have scored in only one of their last six league games, so they aren’t exactly formidable in attack.

Eskilstuna have averaged just 0.86 goals per game at their own ground, while they’ve failed to score in half of their Allsvenskan games so far. We expect them to have a tough time going forward having scored in just one of their last five games. With both sides in trouble in the scoring stakes, we don’t expect a thriller here. We’re backing against both teams scoring in this one.
