Varberg BoIS form and stats
3 victories, 2 draws and 3 defeats. That’s what Varberg BoIS have to build on here at Varberg Energi Arena in the Allsvenskan.
Happy days for Varberg BoIS in their previous game, a Allsvenskan match away at IFK Göteborg (placed 11th) that ended with a 2-1 victory. Midfielder Adama Fofana was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.3 (out of ten) in that game. Fofana hit one key pass and dribled passed the opponent 3 of 3 times. The victory against IFK Göteborg came after Ryan Moon's winning goal. The Varberg BoIS manager F. Danielson was very happy afterwards with the decision to bring on that player in the 46th minute.
A strong away win before that one, visiting Hvetlanda and winning 5-0.The Varberg BoIS fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 9 in 8 matches. Varberg have conceded 11 in these home matches. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 0 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
Halmstad form and stats
There's been little loot from Halmstad's travels as they have only collected 8 points from 8 away games in the Allsvenskan. Halmstad only have 2 wins to counter their 4 defeats and 2 draws.
Halmstad are travelling after their nice 2-1 home win in the Allsvenskan against Norrköping (placed 7th). Midfield player Amir Al Ammari was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.81/10. Ammari scored one goal and hit two key passes. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager M. Haglund when Sadat Karim scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 66th minute.
Preceding that game was the away Svenska Cupen victory against Rappe with the score of 3-0.The attacking power of Halmstad when travelling is not overwhelming with 7 goals scored from 8 league matches away. As opposed to that, Halmstad have seen the ball go into their own net 9 times on the road.
