Let me give you a stat first: in Sweden’s top women’s league, the average match sees almost 2.8 goals. What does that mean? It means most games go over the 2.5-goal line. I’m not making this up — it’s a feature of the league itself. Women’s football generally has less defensive intensity and a quicker tempo, so goals are easier to come by.
Looking at these two teams, Vittsjo’s defense is, to put it bluntly, full of holes. They have conceded 18 goals in 10 matches — nearly 2 per game — which tells you how unreliable their back line is. They can concede against anyone, and away to a home side like Norrkoping, they’ll probably let in more again.
As for Norrkoping, they may not be high in the table, but they still have some fighting power at home. And think about it — with the home fans watching, they can’t exactly sit back and play timidly. They’ll have to push forward. With one team attacking and the other defending, goals should naturally follow.
Another point is that neither of these teams is the type to play out a 0-0. If you look through their results, most of their games feature goals, and quite often it’s one team scoring, then the other answering back. Matches like this are the easiest to produce plenty of goals.
