Rosengard ready to surprise on Sunday
Our Pitea IF (W) vs Rosengard (W) prediction highlights that although Pitea IF (W) have made a fine start to the Damallsvenskan season, Rosengard’s rejuvenated and ambitious side have the talent and resources to cause an upset at the foot of the table. Fredrik Bernhardsson’s side have won their last two matches in Sweden’s women’s top flight and are currently sitting third in the table.
A 1-0 win at home to a struggling Vittsjo GIK (W) side was followed up by a superb 2-1 away win at Vaxjo (W) a week later, and although the opponents were inferior, the performances impressed many. Pitea IF (W) have a well-structured, compact style, and a disciplined low block, and they have shown the ability to create enough in transition to win games.
This Pitea IF (W) vs Rosengard (W) preview will show that a clash with Rosengard (W) will be a completely different proposition to the teams they have faced to date, however. Rosengard (W) like to play proactive, attacking soccer - high pressing, wide, possession based football, and Joel Kjetselberg will have to work hard to ensure that style is restored, after his team’s meagre points total so far.
Hanna Andersson has started the season in sharp form, netting three of Rosengard (W)’s last five goals, while Molly Johansson is another option in attack, notching one goal in four league games. Rosengard (W) are still to win away this season, however, drawing 1-1 at IK Uppsala (W) in their most recent game, and losing 1-0 at home to an improving Malmo FF (W) the week before that.
Pitea can spring a surprise
Although Rosengard (W) have won the last two meetings between the teams, and won two of their three previous visits to play Pitea, our Pitea IF (W) vs Rosengard (W) prediction suggests that the home team have made a much better start to the season and they should have the belief to take all the points on Sunday.
Pitea IF (W) have won one and lost one of their two home league games so far, conceding three goals in the process. For those looking for Pitea IF (W) vs Rosengard (W) betting tips, the odds on a home victory here look too big at 2.42, and we’re happy to take that, as Pitea have shown the grit to see out close matches this term.
Rosengard (W) have a star-studded squad, however, and their creative force Cecily Wellesley-Smith is yet to really get going, with one assist in four matches this season, so the Draw No Bet line could also come in handy if she manages to unlock Pitea’s well-disciplined defence on Sunday.
