Preview: Brommapojkarna vs. Varnamo - prediction, team news, lineups

Sports Mole previews Saturday's Swedish Allsvenskan clash between Brommapojkarna and Varnamo, including predictions, team news and possible lineups.

Round 18 of the 2023 Swedish Allsvenskan season sees Brommapojkarna entertain the challenge of Varnamo at Grimsta IP on Saturday afternoon.

Both teams came away empty-handed from their respective last outings, and they will be keen to get back to winning ways as soon as possible.


Match preview

Brommapojkarna fell to a disappointing 2-0 defeat against Degerfors when the two teams went head-to-head at the Stora Valla Stadium on Saturday.

Olof Mellberg's men were on top for large spells of the contest and looked set to secure all three points before late goals from Gustav Granath and Gustav Lindgren put them to the sword.

Consequently, the Stockholm-based side remain 10th in the Swedish Allsvenskan table, three points adrift of a place in the top half just past the midway point of the campaign.

Lying in store next is the challenge of an opposing outfit who have been beaten in four of the last editions of this fixture across all competitions.

Having ended a three-game home losing streak in their most recent outing, Saturday's hosts now go in search of consecutive wins in front of their fans for the first time since the turn of the year.

Varnamo saw their two-game unbeaten run come to an end against Malmo in a comprehensive 3-1 defeat at the Eleda Stadion on Monday.

After going behind to Isaac Thelin's opener, Kim Hellberg's men hit back through Oscar Johansson before second-half goals from Soren Rieks and Thelin settled the contest.

With 19 points picked up from their 17 outings, IFK sit 11th in the league standings, just two points above the drop zone with a game in hand.

Ahead of a crunch relegation clash against Degerfors nine days later, Saturday's visitors will be looking to secure a morale-boosting result this weekend.

Team News

Varnamo will once again have to cope with the absence of William Kenndal, as the midfielder remains without an outing since the first week of May.

Gustav Engvall has been directly involved in nine of his side's 17 league goals so far, making the 27-year-old one to keep an eye on here.

Kevin Ackermann missed Brommapojkarna's last outing through a knock, but he could make an immediate return to action in this weekend's contest.

Alexander Jensen is yet to miss a single game for the home side this term, and the Dane is expected to retain his place in the starting lineup.


Brommapojkarna possible starting lineup:
Johansson; Calisir, Sogaard, Heggem; Waker, Leach, Sandberg, Jensen; Cosic, Johansson, Pettersson

Varnamo possible starting lineup:
Voytekhovich; Grozdanic, Eriksson, Larsson; Engvall, Nasstrom, Wenderson, Ademi; Thern, Zeljkovic, Johansson


SM words green background

We say: Brommapojkarna 1-0 Varnamo

With two of the lowest-scoring sides in the division set to go head-to-head, a nervy and cagey affair is on the cards here. We are tipping the hosts to come away with maximum points in the end, albeit by only a narrow margin.
