Kalmar FF come into the opener unbeaten in four matches, with one draw and three wins in that stretch, while Västerås SK have lost their last two and have gone two games without a win. That shape matters for a Both Teams To Score call because both sides have been involved in recent games where chances and goals have appeared, rather than either team building a run of clean sheets.
Kalmar’s recent games have been lively enough for this market: four of their last five have gone over 2.5 goals, and they have scored in five of their last six. The most recent result was a 1-1 draw with Malmö FF on 20 March, following a 4-0 win at Halmstads BK and a 2-2 cup draw with Örgryte IS. That blend of scoring and conceding is exactly the kind of profile that keeps BTTS in play.
Västerås are less reliable overall, but they have not been shutting opponents out either, with four straight matches without a clean sheet. Their latest outing ended in a 0-1 home defeat to IK Oddevold, yet the game before that was a 4-1 loss away to BK Häcken, which underlines how often they are exposed defensively. Even so, their recent results also show they can nick a goal, as they scored against AIK and in the defeat at Daejeon Hana Citizen.
The head-to-head record leans the same way, with both teams scoring in three of the last four meetings. Kalmar’s home-attack edge and Västerås’s away fragility fit a contest where each side should get openings, even if the projected 1-1 scoreline leaves little margin for error. The xG split of 1.3 to 1.5 also points to chances at both ends rather than one team controlling the game.
My prediction is Both Teams To Score at 4/5. Kalmar have seen both teams score in four of their last five, Västerås have gone four matches without a clean sheet, and three of the last four head-to-head meetings have landed BTTS. The 1-1 projection does not leave much room to spare, but the recent scoring patterns on both sides support the pick.
