IFK Värnamo Men’s Team’s Quest for Victory: A Match Preview and History

There is a new away game for the men’s team. After two crosses and a loss during the tight schedule, Mellberg & Engelmark’s men are looking for a victory, after a week of much-needed rest. Here is the list of opponents of: IFK Värnamo

HISTORY: Comann Spórs nan Comrades (IFK) Värnamo is a football club in Värnamo, Jönköping County, founded in 1912. The club’s greatest success has been on the men’s football side. Among other things, national team player Jonas Thern has roots and has become a huge icon at the club, where he has contributed to the success of both as a player and as a coach.

In 2021, a big event in the club’s history will take place, they qualify for the Allsvenskan for the first time, after winning the Superettan with 59 points in 30 games. The first season in 2022 exceeded expectations, thanks in large part to striker Marcus Antonsson, who tallied 20 goals in the Allsvenskan season. In 2023, they climbed further. The team now managed by Kim Hellberg took the third season in the Allsvenskan by storm and in the end landed in a historic fifth place, the best so far in the club’s history .

The games are usually played at Finnvedsvallen, but in this year’s season so far no home games have been played there, as the surface is considered substandard based on the rules of the Football Association of Sweden. Our match will be an exception, which has been moved to Arena Guldfågeln in Kalmar.

CURRENT SQUAD: Head coach Anes Mravac’s men had to work around in slightly different formations at the start of the season. Last year’s team has lost big names in the form of Albion Ademi, Viktor Eriksson, Oscar Johansson Schellhas and of course the successful coach Kim Hellberg.

The son of club legend Simon Thern, the son of Jonas Thern returned to his parent club last season and has been key, but has now missed some games due to injury at the start of the season. – season. It remains to be seen whether he will be ready for Sunday’s battle, if he gets to play and be someone to keep an extra eye on.

Above, there is power to build, where both Gustav Engvall and Ajdin Zeljkovic can create chaos for our red and black defenders. If victory is to become a reality, these two must be shut down.

Last meeting: Last season’s away game against IFK Värnamo ended in a 1-0 victory, almost exactly a year ago. The game looked like it was going to go goalless, but in the decisive final stage Richie Omorowa stepped up and cleaned up the victory for the red and black. Who will be the hero of the game this time?

Form: Värnamo has had a tough start to the season. Before Sunday’s game, they are last in the table with seven points from as many games played. Recently, however, there was a “terrible victory” away for Hammarby, so it is an unpredictable team that we are playing against, that should not be underestimated.
