Helsingborg form and stats

With 2 Allsvenskan wins, 3 draws and 8 defeats from their home games, Helsingborg are certainly not brimming with confidence. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Helsingborg with their five defeats in a row. Not since the IFK Göteborg game, 40 days ago, have they avoided a loss.

No payout for Helsingborg in their previous match, an away game at Norrköping that ended in defeat 0-2. Midfielder Fumaça was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.45 (out of ten) in that game. Fumaça dribled past the opponent 5 of 5 times.

Preceding that match was the home game against Varberg that was lost 1-3.

This is expected to be a close game, with Helsingborg perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Helsingborg as a small favourite), we find 6 games. Helsingborg has won 1 of these, drawn 3 and lost 2.

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Helsingborg here at Olympia in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (8 from 13 games). Helsingborg have conceded 18 in these home matches. Helsingborg has at home met teams with this table position (low), four times. It has ended with less than 2.5 goals 3 of 4 times.

Degerfors form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Degerfors so far with only 6 points returning home. The records show 1-3-9 (win-draw-lose). It's three draws from Degerfors's last three away games, a decent catch but one that could be so much better.

Degerfors are travelling after their nice 3-1 home win in the fixture against IFK Göteborg (placed 8th). Defender Lagerbielke was the best team player with a rating of 8.81. Lagerbielke scored one goal, hit three key passes and won 13 of 16 duels.

Preceding that game, the 1-1 draw paying a visit to Elfsborg.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Degerfors playing away and similar expectations, we found 6 relevant matches. Results were 4 Degerfors wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat.

The visitors have scored 11 goals from 13 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Degerfors have conceded 28 goals in these games.
