AFC Eskilstuna form and stats

AFC Eskilstuna, who have the most scored goals (19) in Superettan, have collected 9 points from their Superettan home games so far after 3-0-1.

The followers are hoping that Eskilstuna will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 1-2 away loss in the game against Halmstad (placed 2nd). The home side have an in-form goalscorer in Muhsin, having found the net in four games in a row.

Ahead of that match, AFC Eskilstuna won a home game hosting Västerås SK (5-2).

The manager Jebouri will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Örebro in only four days.

With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the AFC Eskilstuna defense is not exactly impregnable. 7 goals conceded from 4 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
