Real Madrid hosts Villarreal in a game from 8th round of La Liga.
Vasteras hosts Orgryte in a match from the 14th round of the Swedish elite division Allsvenskan Liga. The match is on Friday, July 24, at 18:00 UK Time, with bookmakers giving the advantage to the hosts.
Match Preview
Vasteras is in 8th place in the standings, and with a win on Friday night they can temporarily climb to 4th place. The home team has been on the rise in recent weeks - after the dramatic 4:5 loss against IFK Gothenburg, in the championship they followed with a convincing 3:1 victory over Halmstad, a 2:0 victory against Degerfors and a valuable 0:0 draw away to Mjallby. These results show an improvement both in terms of attacking and in the organization of the defense.
The guest are in the penultimate 15th position in the table. Vasteras Jørgryte head into the match after a prestigious 0-0 draw against fifth-placed Djurgarden and a dramatic 4-3 win over third-placed Håken. Away from home, the team's performance remains shaky. Losses of 0-3 to Kalmar, 0-2 to Halmstad, 0-2 to Sirius and 0-4 to GAIS highlight the team's serious problems as a guest. In these four matches, Orgryte failed to score a single goal.
Prediction for Vasteras - Orgryte
I think that Vasteras will control most of the match and will use their better current form, although the last two results of the visitors show improvement. The hosts are aware of the chance to enter the top 4 of the standings with success. They look more stable defensively and have more arguments to win, especially in front of their fans, so my prediction is a sign 1.
Prediction: 1
