The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Mjällby are in the 9th position while the guesting Helsingborg worry at 14th.
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.
Mjällby form and stats
Mjällby have collected 16 points from their Allsvenskan home games so far after 4-4-3.
Mjällby are returning here after visiting Assyriska BK in a Svenska Cupen game and winning with a 5-0 scoreline. Prior to that, an away loss at AIK in the Allsvenskan.
As indicated by the result mentioned above, Mjällby played a great game against Assyriska BK and beat them comfortably. Expectations are high for this one.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Mjällby have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found seven games) they have won four times, drawn one and lost two.
Mjällby have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Strandvallen with 17 goals in 11 league matches. Mjällby have conceded 18 from these games.
Helsingborg form and stats
There's been little loot from Helsingborg's travels as they have only collected 8 points from 11 away games in the Allsvenskan. Helsingborg, who have the fewest points (8) away in Allsvenskan, only have 1 win to counter their 5 defeats and 5 draws.
Helsingborg play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 3-0 victory visiting Halmia. Preceding that, the 0-1 home loss versus Östersunds FK.
We have checked recent matches where Helsingborg have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those four games were one victory, two draws and one defeat.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Helsingborg have scored 12 goals in 11 league games away. For Helsingborg, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
