Swedish Superettan – Jönköpings v Varbergs

Today’s game is a clash between first place Varbergs and 8th place Jönköpings in the second tier of Swedish football Superettan. Varberg has been unbeaten this season and they have 32 points in 12 games. Jönköpings is currently at 8th place with 17 points. Varbergs has won 10 games and played two draws, while Jönköpings has recorded 5 wins, 2 draws and 5 losses. Varbergs has scored impressive 26 goals in the league, which is 8 more than any other team has scored. They have given away only 9 goals this season, which is less than any other. Jönköpings has scored 18 and given away 10.

Varbergs comes in to this game in two game winning streak. In their past 5 games, they have won three and drawn two, their only draws this season. They have recently played two top teams in the league Norrby (5th) and Örgryte (4th) and bottom side teams Halmstad (11th), GAIS (12th) and Frej (13th) in this 16 team league. In those 5 games Varbergs has scored 8 goals (1,6 per game on average) and given away 5 (1 per game on average).

Jönköpings has lost two in the row. Before losing those two, they won three. Two of those wins came against last place Brommapojkarna and second to last Östers. They also beat 3rd place Brage. Their latest losses came against 2nd place Mjällby and 14th place Syrianska. Jönköpings has scored 7 goals (1,4 per game on average) and given away 3 (0,6 per game on average) in their past 5.

Astrit Seljmani (Varbergs) leads the league in scoring. 22-year-old striker has 10 goals so far. Edin Hamidovic leads Jönköpings in goals with 6. 

Both teams have been showing good form lately, especially Varbergs that hasn’t lost a single match this season. Jönköpings has three wins in their past five games but two of them came against two worst teams in the league. Even though Varbergs has dropped points in their past five games, they are doing everything better than any other team in the league. Scoring the most and allowing the least goals in the league, with no games lost is something you can’t bet against. Varbergs gets really good odds for this game and I’m picking them here.
