Falkenberg are welcoming Helsingborg for another important game after their 0-1 result against 2nd-placed Djurgården.
It's no vacation for neither Falkenberg nor Helsingborg as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Falkenberg form and stats
0-1-3 (win-draw-lost) are the Allsvenskan numbers at home for Falkenberg so far this season. With Falkenberg having lost three times in a row here, the pressure is increasing on the manager H. Eklund.
Falkenberg are anxiously hoping for a goal as it's been 208 minutes since the last one in league fixtures. (Scored by N. Peter).
In their previous game, the manager H. Eklund led his Falkenberg to a defeat in the Allsvenskan match away at Djurgården. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Falcon Alkoholfri Arena. Before that game, the home loss against Östersunds FK with the scoreline 0-1.
Viktor Noring had a busy but productive day in the Djurgården match. Despite making eleven saves the loss could not be prevented. Heartbreak for Falkenberg in their last match as Djurgården's A. F. Witry scored the winning goal deep into overtime.
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Falkenberg have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found seven matches with the results: Won three, drawn three and lost one.
The manager H. Eklund will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to IFK Göteborg in only four days.
Falkenberg have scored 2 goals here in 4 league matches, a depressing statistic. Falkenberg have conceded 6 from these games.
Helsingborg form and stats
0 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses. That’s the product of Helsingborg playing as the away team in the Allsvenskan this season. Two points from the last two away games for Helsingborg, which the math geniuses among you will translate to two draws.
Helsingborg are the visiting side once again, their previous game being the 1-1 draw at IFK Göteborg (placed 11th). Before that, Helsingborg secured a home win against AIK with the score 2-0.
The draw against IFK Göteborg came from a losing position. The Helsingborg manager O. Mellberg brought on Assad Al-Hamlawi as a substitute and the player scored to make the scores level.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Helsingborg playing away and similar expectations, we found six relevant matches. Results were two Helsingborg wins, one draw and three defeats.
A new game in only four days for Helsingborg, the Allsvenskan home match versus Örebro. Busy days.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Helsingborg as they have only managed to score 3 times from 4 away games in the league. The Helsingborg manager O. Mellberg has some worries about the defense as 8 goals have been conceded in these travels.
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Falkenberg zero wins, four draws and Helsingborg six victories. As for goals, four matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), six games had two or less.Top Goalscorers
