Elfsborg have traveled here for an interesting fight against the hosts Helsingborg. Prepare for the match with this Allsvenskan preview!
There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Allsvenskan match only four days ago. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Kalmar.
This stadium uses grass, unlike Elfsborg's home stadium. The visitors last 23 games on grass have ended in 8 wins, 3 draws and 12 losses.
Helsingborg form and stats
Helsingborg's first Allsvenskan home game here at Olympia ended in defeat. Last season their home statistics were 6 wins, 3 draws and 6 defeats from 15 matches.
Helsingborg haven't scored a league goal since they found the net 220 minutes ago. A. Farnerud scored that one.
The fans are hoping that Helsingborg will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-4 away loss in the Allsvenskan game against Kalmar (placed 6th). Ahead of that match, Helsingborg lost 0-3 at home to Varberg BoIS.
Helsingborg were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one. Kalle Joelsson had a busy but productive day in the Kalmar match. Despite making six saves the loss could not be prevented.
Helsingborg has scored 0 goals so far and conceded 3 goals from 1 home game. These are numbers from the league only.
