Our feeling is that Västerås SK will, in all likelihood, get a lot of shots on goal and make them count.

At the other end, AFC Eskilstuna could well struggle to get shooting opportunities but do we see them converting at least once as well.

We’re therefore anticipating a controlled 3-1 victory for Västerås SK at the conclusion of the game.
