- 10th-placed Växjö (W) are having a more difficult time of it in the Swedish top division with 14 points from 14 outings.

Head-to-Head
Växjö's 3-0 win in the head-to-head just 4 months ago in the same league will have given them a blueprint for how to hurt Eskilstuna, so that should ensure the match isn't a total walkover for the hosts.
Key Players
- Bella Sember is the top scorer for the home side with 2 goals in 14 games.
- Nellie Karlsson has 4 from 12 for the visitors.
Betting Insights
- Back-to-back wins will have Eskilstuna looking upwards and the hosts are a good pick here at 2.1.
- Växjö are a live underdog at 2.85 and draw odds of 3.3 are a shade high, though all three of these prices are likely to shrink ahead of Saturday's game.
- A home win or draw looks the smartest play here given the split in home and away records for these two teams.
Prediction
An Eskilstuna win & under 3.5 goals also appeals here as this looks set to be a cagey game for the most part.
