Eskilstuna United
- Eskilstuna United are in poor form (W1, D2, L2) and come into the match on the back of two consecutive defeats.
- There is little to separate these two sides in the current Damallsvenskan table with Kristianstads DFF sitting sixth on 18 points after 12 games, while Eskilstuna United are one point and one place lower in seventh.
- Rickard Johansson has set his team up to be a compact, transition-based side that will stay in the game for as long as they can and then look to punish teams on the break.
- Sheila van den Bulk has been Eskilstuna's biggest threat in the league with two goals in 12 appearances, so the Dutch attacker will need to be in the mood to get her team some joy on Saturday.
Kristianstads DFF
- Kristianstads DFF have fared marginally better in the last five (W2, D1, L2).
- Kristianstads DFF are better travellers with a record of (W1, D2, L2) in their five Damallsvenskan 2026 away matches.
- Kristianstads bounced back from a 6-0 thrashing away at Malmö FF last time out by beating AIK 3-0 at home, a response that will keep them in the groove for this weekend's match.
- Nik Chamberlain's team has been set up to be a pragmatic 4-4-2 side, with a strong duel-winning mentality, forward pressure and two strikers to direct the ball at.
Head-to-Head
Kristianstads have the better of the recent head-to-head record but the odds of 2.04 are a touch too short for them against an Eskilstuna outfit that should have enough to hold their own.
Key Players
- Sheila van den Bulk has been Eskilstuna's biggest threat in the league with two goals in 12 appearances, so the Dutch attacker will need to be in the mood to get her team some joy on Saturday.
