October 3rd features a match where Värnamo will play host to Mjällby in a meeting of these two evenly matched Allsvenskan teams.

In their last match they recorded a 1-0 shutout win against Varberg BoIS. Marcus Antonsson struck first for Värnamo in the 87th minute on a feed from Magashy, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring At the end of 90 a dissapointed Varberg BoIS couldn’t manage to score, and Värnamo took the shutout win. Värnamo is looking for direction having 4 win and 3 losses in their last 10 matches, while 9th placed Mjällby is fresh off their 1-1 draw against GIF Sundsvall. Ronaldo Damus struck first for GIF Sundsvall in the 77th minute on a feed from Erik Andersson, then in the 3rd minute of the second half’s stoppage time, Jacob Bergstrom sent in a beautiful pass which was converted by Carlos Gracia earning Mjällby at least a draw. Mjällby is looking for direction having 3 win and 2 losses in their last 10 matches.

Oscar Johansson scored the first goal for Värnamo in the 6th minute, then Herman Johansson tied it up for Mjällby in the 5th minute of the second half’s stoppage time earning Mjällby at least a draw.
Viktor Gustafsson and Herman Johansson are the top scorers for Mjällby in the last five matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats. Marcus Antonsson has been on a hot streak lately. In the last five games, the attacker has scored six goals for Värnamo.
