STOCKHOLM, Sept 19 (Reuters) - Sweden's ruling centre-right coalition is set to win a one-seat parliament majority in Sunday's election, state television SVT forecast, turning around its earlier exit poll prediction of a hung parliament.
The forecast, based on districts counted so far, predicted Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt's centre-right alliance coalition winning 175 seats in the 349-seat parliament.
It forecast that the centre-left opposition would win 154 seats and the anti-immigration Sweden Democrats 20 seats, entering parliament for the first time.
