Västerås SK and Örgryte IS have faced each other 12 times, and it's neck and neck: three wins each and six draws. Their games aren’t exactly goal fests, with just over two goals on average each time they meet. Still, Västerås can hold their heads a bit higher right now as they took home a 2–0 win back in October when the two sides faced each other.
Västerås SK team overview
Västerås prepares for this one on the back of a hard-fought 0–0 goalless draw on the road against Mjällby. The Green and White enter the tie in impressive overall form, having racked up two victories in their last three Allsvenskan matches to push up to eighth in the table.
Alexander Rubin's men will be eager to cure their home-turf anxieties at the Hitachi Energy Arena, where a tough run without a win saw them pick up just one victory from their opening six home assignments.
Up front, Mikkel Ladefoged remains the club's main man with an exceptional total contribution of 9 goals already this season. He will be available and fresh for this tie after serving his one match ban for accumulation of bookings in the goalless draw last time out.
Meanwhile, the squad manages a noticeable absentee as first-choice goalkeeper Anton Fagerström has lost his spot in the starting XI.

Örgryte IS team overview
Örgryte IS enters this one on the back of a defensive 0–0 stalemate against Djurgården. The Society has shown resilience in their recent run of form, losing only one of their last four Allsvenskan outings.
Andreas Holmberg’s men will now travel hoping to fix a terrible run without a win on the road, where they have suffered a defeat in their last five attempts.
Up front, Noah Christoffersson remains the focal point of the attack, pacing the team with a total contribution of four goals so far this campaign.
However, the visitors are dealing with a noticeable absentee as star forward Rasmus Alm remains a major doubt while working his way back from a troublesome knee injury.

Prediction
Västerås looks perfectly primed to claim a routine 2–0 victory on home soil this Friday. The Green and White boast a much stronger squad depth, further boosted by the crucial return of star striker Mikkel Ladefoged to lead the line. Given Örgryte’s severe struggles on the road and their toothless away attack, the hosts should comfortably dictate the tempo, stifle the visitors, and secure all three points.
Four reasons we expect under 3.5 goals
- Each of the last six meetings between Vasteras and Orgryte finished with under 2.5 goals.
- Örgryte IS boast just one goal from their last four away league games.
- Vasteras have kept a clean sheet in each of their last two Allsvenskan fixtures.
- Four of the last seven games of Orgryte IS finished with two or fewer goals.
