After both sides suffered close losses last week they will be eager to earn a morale boosting win. Pingvin are difficult to beat at home and from all accounts a large squad to choose from last week. If that is the case again this Saturday, then they could well get a positive result. Hammarby though will be keen to put last weeks reverse behind them. They also have a large squad and will no doubt ensure that as many as possible make the trip. Having their confidence shaken slightly, they will be up for this encounter and we take them to record an away win, but will have to fight all the way for it.
Enkoping make the short journey to play Exiles and as they are sitting once again at the top of the tree, they will be very keen to remain there. Exiles will of course have their focus set on taking over that perch from the visitors and this could well be a dogged encounter. Both teams have quite a bit of flair in the backs so should be able to create opportunities, will nerves get the better of them? Erk's look to have more natural talent whilst Exiles work their lines well. Will the Enkoping forwards be able to dominate their counterparts? A very close game we think, but we will go for an away win, but only just.
Lastly, the local derby of Spartacus against Goteborg. Both teams will be up for this as whoever wins will have bragging rights for a year, at least in the West. Spartacus have been the surprise package this season, running the Northern teams close in the three matches they have played against them so far, with 2 narrow losses and 1 draw. Goteborg have not had too good a season winning just once against their neighbours, by a close margin and suffering some heavy defeats. However they have bought back some old faces for this encounter, so that could prove interesting. So we guess that it be a case of who wants it most? After a mighty battle we will opt for a home win, but once again a close game.
Let's hope for some exciting rugby!
Enkoping are playing almost their strongest team and Exiles reinforcements has arrived. Previous game between the teams was one of the best games in Sweden for years, a game that Enkoping won after two individual tries last 10 minutes. It will be a tight game and i wont even flip my coin to predict the final result.
