IK Frej vs Dalkurd FF Predictions

After a disappointing defeat at Vasteras, Frej now sit one place and two points above the relegation zone in the Superettan. Saturday’s Guests Dalkurd extended their unbeaten run to four matches with a win over Halmstad, and a win this weekend could take them into the top three.

Frej fell behind away at Casteras to a twelfth-minute effort from Tronêt, and that goal proved enough to separate the sides at the interval. Frej pushed forward more in the second half but the game’s second goal was deflected into his own net by Degerlund, to put Vasteras into a commanding 2-0 lead, which they held onto to secure a vital three points. Dalkurd and Halmstad played out a competitive ninety minutes at Gavlevallen, one that looked likely to end goalless until deep into stoppage time when substitute Cissoko scored a dramatic winning goal for Dalkurd. Halmstad were arguably the better side during the ninety minutes and a draw was the least their efforts deserved, but that victory took Dalkurd into sixth position, level on points with Jonkopings Sodra.

The recent head to head record between these two clubs and their performances in the Superettan over the last few weeks, all point towards a Dalkurd win this weekend and a good chance we will see both teams score in the process. Dalkurd have won five of the last six encounters between these two clubs, and both teams have scored and over 2.5 goals were produced in four of their last six meetings. Dalkurd are unbeaten in their last four league games, picking up three wins and a draw, while Frej have lost two of their last four matches in the Superettan. Both teams have scored in three of Frej’s and three of Dalkurd’s last five league games, which is why we’re predicting a 2-1 win for the visitors on Saturday.

Frithzell top scores for Frej this season with five Superettan goals to his name, while Cissoko has netted four times in the league for Dalkurd and is likely to return to the starting lineup for Saturday’s match. We’re confident that Dalkurd will win on Saturday, and have predicted a final scoreline of 2-1. The visitors have a good recent record against their hosts and head into the game as the form favourites with three wins and a draw from their last four Superettan games.
