Since 2024, Mjällby holds the head-to-head advantage over Västerås, winning four times, drawing once, and losing just two fixtures. These encounters typically guarantee action, producing 15 goals across their last five competitive meetings for an exciting average of exactly three goals per game.
Mjallby team overview
Mjällby enters this one on the back of a disappointing 2–1 home defeat against AIK Solna, extending their winless league streak to five matches.
The Listershackarna are experiencing a significant dip in momentum following a chaotic 4–4 draw with Sirius just prior to their recent setback.
Karl Marius Aksum's men must swiftly rectify their defensive vulnerabilities, as their previously formidable home form at Strandvallen is under threat after losing in consecutive home fixtures.
Central to their recovery plans will be target man Jacob Bergström, who leads the club's offensive output this season with an impressive five goals in twelve Allsvenskan appearances.
However, the hosts are handed a selection headache due to the noticeable absence of key winger Timo Stavitski, who remains sidelined from the matchday squad.

Västerås team overview
Västerås enters this one on the back of a commanding 2–0 home victory against Degerfors IF, extending their impressive league winning streak to two matches.
The Grönvitt are riding a massive wave of momentum after securing maximum points over Halmstad and Degerfors in consecutive weeks.
Alexander Rubin's men have proved highly formidable on their travels, following up that 3-2 win over Malmo with an important 3–1 away win at Halmstad to steady their road record.
Central to their sharp attacking display is Danish forward Mikkel Ladefoged, who leads the club's offensive charge with 9 goals in 12 Allsvenskan appearances this campaign.
However, the visitors face minor selection issues due to the noticeable absence of key attacker Abdelrahman Boudah, who remains sidelined from the matchday squad with a muscle injury.

Prediction
Mjällby’s defensive vulnerability makes a clean sheet unlikely, but their formidable home advantage at Strandvallen should carry them through. Facing a leaky Västerås defense that rarely keeps a clean sheet on the road, the hosts will look to exploit spaces through Jacob Bergström. While the visitors possess enough attacking flair via Mikkel Ladefoged to find the net, Mjällby’s historical head-to-head dominance will prove decisive in a tight, high-scoring 2–1 victory.
Four reasons we expect at least three goals in this tie
- Five of the last six meetings between Mjallby and Vasteras produced over 2.5 goals.
- Vasteras finished only one of their last 13 games across all competitions without conceding.
- Mjallby are without a clean sheet in their last ten games across all competitions.
- Five of the last six games of Vasteras finished with four or more goals.
