Cagey clash on the cards as the bottom two meet
Vaxjo (W) are bottom of Damallsvenskan 2026 with only four points from eight games, while IK Uppsala (W) are 12th with six points from the same number of fixtures. Both clubs have been poor this season, but the newly promoted visitors are coming up to speed well and will be more motivated to get a result against the established opposition on Saturday.
Aelvali Lindstroem is IK Uppsala's top scorer with two goals in eight Damallsvenskan fixtures and she will be their main outlet in the front third on Saturday, but the visitors are a defensive team and good at stopping the ball at the back and hitting on the counterattack.
Olof Unogaard switched to a four-man defence in an attempt to give his side some more stability at the back in mid-season, but his team have not capitalised on it and come into this game on the back of a three-game losing streak.
Visitors will do anything to keep it tight
Recent form
Vaxjo (W) are winless in their last three at home while IK Uppsala (W) have lost their last three away, but the fact that the visitors have struggled on the road gives us cause to believe they can at least keep this game tight.
Key points
- Maja Bodin is Vaxjo's main goal threat with five in eight league appearances, three of which have come in the last five games.
- Hanna Spets has done a decent job in the early stages of her reign as IK Uppsala (W) boss and she appears to have a good understanding of the players at her disposal.
- She will be looking to set them up to be as pragmatic as possible and take advantage of any chances that come their way in transition.
Tactics and betting
Vaxjo (W) are favorites at 1.67, while the away team are 4.53. Given the poor form of both sides and their defensive nature, the under 2.5 goals market looks the best bet for Saturday's clash of the bottom-two in Sweden.
