Varnamo vs Sirius Prediction
Varnamo have just a one-point cushion over the relegation zone. Furthermore, they have the worst home record in the league, having garnered just five points in eight games played in front of their fans.
Sirius registered a shock win against defending champions Malmo last week, ending their 100% home record in the process. Christer Mattiasson's side boosted their survival hopes with the victory but are still just three points above their hosts. Defeat could leave them looking over their shoulders depending on results elsewhere. Their games tend to be slow burners, coming alive after the break.
Games between these two sides tend to be cagey affairs with goals coming at a premium. Although one side could nick a win, we are backing the spoils to be shared in a goalless stalemate.
