6 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses. That’s the product of Värnamo playing as the away team in the Superettan this season.

Impressive finishing from Wenderson, O. Uddenäs and E. Becirovic secured the home win 3-2 against Falkenberg in their previous game. An amazing comeback from Värnamo last time out, trailing 0-2 before rallying an inspired fight which eventually led to E. Becirovic scoring the winning goal in the 90th minute. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager R. Asterhed when E. Becirovic scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 80th minute.
