Helsingborg form and stats

Helsingborg's struggle is real here at Olympia with only 9 points collected from 10 Allsvenskan games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 2-3-5.

A good away victory last time out for Helsingborg, who won 2-1 against GIF Sundsvall (placed 16th). Kabashi, who plays in attack, was the best player for the team in that match, and was presented with a rating of 8.45 (out of 10). Kabashi scored one goal, served one assist, hit two key passes, dribled past the opponent 3 of 3 times and had 26 successful passes (of 28 total).

The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 0-0 versus Sirius.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Helsingborg as they are travelling to their away game against Tord in the Svenska Cupen. That match is three days after this one.

Helsingborg have scored 6 league goals here from 10 matches, not a lot. Helsingborg's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 12 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Mjällby form and stats

3-2-4 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Mjällby in their Allsvenskan matches away.

Mjällby delivered a 1-1 draw playing at home against Malmö FF (placed 5th) in their previous match. Midfield player Gustafson was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.6/10. Gustafson scored one goal and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.

Preceding that game, the 0-1 loss visiting Häcken's place.

Low on goals? 11 of this team's latest 13 league fixtures have had zero, one or two goals.

The schedule is very tough for Mjällby now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Svenska Cupen game at Hassleholms IF is waiting in only three days.

The attacking power of Mjällby when travelling is not overwhelming with 5 goals scored from 9 league matches away. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (8 so far).

Head 2 Head

This was the end result when the teams faced each other previously this campaign; Mjällby - Helsingborg 2-1. Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: four - one - five (Helsingborg wins - draws - Mjällby wins). As for goals, seven matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), three had two or less.
