An upset on the cards?
The bookies have Rosengard as favourites at 2.48 but with Eskilstuna very close behind at 2.44 and the draw at 3.5, it could be a very tight game and we’re not expecting too many goals. Our Eskilstuna United (W) vs Rosengard (W) prediction is that Rosengard’s high-pressing game will look to dominate possession and territory, but Eskilstuna will sit back, look to control the midfield and break on transition.
Anna Anvegard gives Rosengard extra attacking depth but is yet to find the net this season. This Eskilstuna United (W) vs Rosengard (W) betting tips suggest Eskilstuna have been very solid at the back and will look to grind it out on Saturday. With Rosengard looking vulnerable, we think the under 2.5 goals market offers value in this match.
