Helsingborg form and stats

Helsingborg's struggle is real here at Olympia with only 8 points collected from 9 Allsvenskan games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 2-2-5.

Helsingborg are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-5 away versus Häcken. 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.

Previous to that game, a home match hosting GIF Sundsvall in a game that was won 1-0.
