- Värnamo is in the best form (4-1-1)
- Akropolis have yet to win a game.

As mentioned below, Värnamo are feasting on a winning streak here so far with maximum points from their first 3 Superettan games.

Värnamo manager R. Asterhed and his team return home after a 0-0 draw away versus Västerås SK (placed 8th) in the Superettan.
