There should be a significant difference in quality between these teams based on table positions so far, with Malmö FF leading Helsingborg by 15 points.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Malmö FF form and stats
Malmö FF have performed here at Malmö Stadion this season with 4 wins from 6 Allsvenskan matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 2 games and lost 0. The team is able to perform also as the away side, as they are nurturing a very healthy winning streak of five straight victories regardless of arena. Two home wins in a row for Malmö bring valid hopes of a third.
Malmö FF enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at IFK Göteborg's place. The match ended 3-0 with Amin Sarr, Anders Christiansen and Jo Inge Berget scoring. Heartbreak before that as Malmö FF lost 1-2 at IFK Göteborg (after extra-time)'s place.
Malmö are believed to win this game, given a winning chance of about 70% by the bookmakers. We have checked our records for their performance in similar circumstances and found eight matches and the win/draw/lost stats: Won seven, drew one and lost zero.
The manager J. Dahl Tomasson will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Falkenberg in only four days.
The Malmö fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 11 goals in 6 league matches. Malmö are not conceding a lot of goals here at Malmö Stadion in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 4 from 6 matches.
Helsingborg form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Helsingborg so far with only 4 points returning home. The records show 0-4-2 (win-draw-lose). Helsingborg has showed their ability to avoid defeat with five draws in a row, but are also dodging victories. They last avoided the draw 24 days ago, in the AIK fixture. It's been quite a sequence of draws for Helsingborg when traveling as their last four away games have all ended all square. Not since the Häcken match has the points been distributed unevenly.
There were no winners in Helsingborg's previous match, a Allsvenskan home game that ended 1-1 vs Hammarby (placed 8th). A 0-0 draw at Östersunds FK's stadium before that.
Anders Lindegaard had red hot gloves after the game against Hammarby, shaping the outcome of the game with six saves made.
We have done a similar check as we did with the hometeam, looking up recent matches where Helsingborg played away with similar odds. This revealed five games. The visitors overcame the odds to win zero times, two were draws and the home team won as expected three times.
The visitors have scored 5 goals from 6 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Helsingborg struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 10 goals conceded from these games.
Head 2 Head
Malmö-Helsingborg H2H statistics last ten meetings regardless of arena: Malmö FF seven wins, Helsingborg two wins, one draw. five of these ten matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).Top Goalscorers
