Superettan prediction and preview: Frej modest favorites to beat Norrby

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

Relegation threatens Frej who should definitely be looking for some points here. Norrby are struggling to avoid relegation.

Frej form and stats

With 2 Superettan wins, 5 draws and 7 defeats from their home games, Frej, who have the fewest points (11) at home in Superettan, are certainly not brimming with confidence. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Frej, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.

The Frej fans got no joy from their last match, a Superettan game also here at Vikingavallen: A 0-3 defeat against Halmstad (placed 9th). Preceding that game was the away draw at Dalkurd that finished 1-1.

Frej lost the game against Halmstad in the first half with a 0-3 deficit and could never come back from that.
