Frölunda vs Brynäs SHL Predictions & Betting Tips - Back Unbeaten Frölunda
Frölunda have made a perfect start to the SHL season and are backed to continue their winning run against Brynäs at Scandinavium on Thursday.
Frölunda have won all four of their opening matches, beating Växjö, Färjestad, Luleå and Malmö while scoring 17 goals. They have already shown they can win in completely different ways, following a 7-3 goal fest in Luleå with a gritty 2-1 comeback victory in Malmö.
Brynäs arrive in Göteborg in good form themselves. Since losing 7-2 at Skellefteå on opening night, they have responded with three consecutive victories, including a remarkable 9-2 win at Linköping and Tuesday's 1-0 shutout of Timrå.
Graeme Clarke has been right at the centre of Frölunda's impressive start. The Canadian has four goals and six points through four games and has found the net in three of them, including the third-period equaliser against Malmö on Saturday.

Frölunda Form
Frölunda opened with a wild 5-4 victory against Växjö before beating Färjestad 3-2 in a shootout, giving them two wins from their opening two games at Scandinavium.
Their biggest offensive performance followed in Luleå. Frölunda scored six times in the second period on the way to a 7-3 victory, with Clarke scoring twice during the onslaught.
Saturday required something completely different. Frölunda trailed Malmö 1-0 entering the third period before Clarke equalised and Patrik Puistola scored the winner with less than two minutes remaining. The 2-1 victory extended their perfect start to four games.
Brynäs Form
Brynäs were hammered 7-2 by Skellefteå in their opener but responded emphatically three days later, scoring nine in a 9-2 victory away to Linköping.
They followed that with a strong 4-2 home win against Luleå. Johan Larsson scored twice, while Kieffer Bellows and Julien Gauthier also found the net.
Tuesday produced a very different performance as Brynäs edged Timrå 1-0. Axel Andersson scored the only goal in the first period and Brynäs protected the lead despite being outshot 23-16. It was their third consecutive victory, setting up a meeting between two of the SHL's early in-form teams.
