AFC Eskilstuna form and stats

25 points is a decent return from 12 Superettan games here at Tunavallen for AFC Eskilstuna. The data says 7 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss.

AFC Eskilstuna lost their last game at Akropolis (placed 11th) after a 0-1 scoreline. Some supporters pointed their nail-bitten fingers at A. Alsanati for missing a penalty kick versus Akropolis in the 37th minute. It's possible that a goal in that situation would have changed the outcome.

In the match before that, Eskilstuna hosted Oster and drew the game 1-1.
