- Vaxjo (W) sit at the bottom of the table, with 4 points from 8 games in Damallsvenskan 2026.

Vaxjo (W) should edge it in a cautious match
The hosts are the favorites for this matchup at 1.67, although our Vaxjo (W) vs IK Uppsala (W) prediction suggests that IK Uppsala (W) look likely to put up a solid defensive display after they were beaten 2-1 away to Vaxjo (W) in Damallsvenskan 2023.
The 2 teams have played each other twice in the top flight in recent seasons, and the Vaxjo (W) vs IK Uppsala (W) preview highlights that Vaxjo (W) claimed a win on one of those occasions while the other was a draw. The hosts sit on 4 points in the table, and both teams need to improve their results if they are going to avoid the relegation zone this season.
Vaxjo (W) have won just 1 of their 4 home games in the Damallsvenskan so far this term, drawing once and losing twice. Olof Unogaard's team have scored an average of 1.75 goals per game at home, but their defence has been leaky, so they have failed to keep any clean sheets.
Maja Bodin is their main attacking threat, with the forward scoring 5 goals in 8 appearances in the 2026 campaign, including 3 in her last 5 games. But IK Uppsala (W) can counter that with a solid defence, as the visitors have lost all 4 of their games away from home in the current season.
Both teams struggle going forward
Aelvali Lindstroem has 2 goals in 8 league appearances and is IK Uppsala's top scorer in 2026. The newly promoted team have lost 3 of their last 5, drawing once and winning once, with the most recent result being a 2-2 draw at home to AIK.
This Vaxjo (W) vs IK Uppsala (W) prediction shows that new boss Hanna Spets is guiding the team well so far in their first season back in the Swedish top flight, although they will be desperate to pick up points against a fellow struggler. Vaxjo (W) are a defensive team with a pragmatic playing style which focuses on being compact, organised and disciplined in possession from the back, while IK Uppsala (W) are a more structured team who will play with a deep defensive block and look to strike on the break.
In addition, our Vaxjo (W) vs IK Uppsala (W) betting tips suggest this is a chess match and who is best at controlling the game and punishing their opponents in transition will likely be the winner. As both sides are in poor form, a low-scoring draw is likely, but a Vaxjo (W) win is also possible. Both sides have struggled in the final third this season, so under 2.5 goals is the main bet.
