IK Uppsala Fotboll and Rosengard have won 2, drawn 1 and lost 2 of their last 5 matches in all competitions.
IK Uppsala
- IK Uppsala (W) have taken 1 point from their first 2 games to sit 11th in Damallsvenskan, while Rosengard sit 13th with 0 points from 2 matches, one point and two places behind the hosts on Saturday.
- Young manager Julius Brekkan has made a positive impact at IK Uppsala (W) with a compact 3-5-2 system based around youth, energy, work rate and set pieces.
Rosengard
- Rosengard have lost consecutive games coming into this, 3-1 away to Hammarby IF DFF (W) and 2-1 at home to AIK (W), in the Damallsvenskan and should be able to recover this weekend.
- Joel Kjetselberg has spoken about the technical quality, attacking versatility and fast-paced nature of his side, so this should be a fascinating chess match on Saturday.
- Rosengard will try to overload the wings, get their wide attackers into the half-space and make cross attempts.
Key Players
- Uppsala are compact and patient when they have the ball, preferring to play direct, but their best attacking player is striker Klara Folkesson, who has scored 6 of their last 8 goals in all competitions.
- But it is Hanna Andersson who has been most prolific, banging in 3 of their 5 goals in the last 5 matches.
Betting Insights
- Rosengard can usually be relied upon to score goals and come back at opponents that they fall behind to on the road and that is why 1.69 is far too short to back them to win this match.
- Rosengard’s attacking focus should be evident from the start, so we believe ‘Both teams to score’ should be the value play in this game.
Prediction
Rosengard are likely to take the points, but IK Uppsala are well organised and always a threat from set pieces.
