2nd position in the Superettan table for Halmstad so far, a good performance. The home supporters hope for more joy as 8th-placed Öster visits Örjans Vall.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Halmstad and Öster.
Halmstad form and stats
Halmstad, who have the most clean sheets (7) in Superettan, have played 6 Superettan games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 3-1-2 (wins-draws-losses).
Halmstad are anxiously hoping for a goal as it's been 189 minutes since the last one in league fixtures. (Scored by Crespo). Nothing to worry about in defence for Halmstad, as their goalkeeper Malkolm Nilsson has completely shut out the opponents for 197 minutes in the Superettan.
Halmstad drew their last game, also a home match. GAIS (placed 12th) was the opponent, 0-0 the score. 0-0 away at Ljungskile before that.
The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Halmstad's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played one game, won one match, drawn zero and lost zero.
There will be little rest for Halmstad after this match as they are travelling to Dalkurd for a Superettan game in only four days.
Halmstad have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Örjans Vall with 10 goals in 6 league matches. From these home matches, Halmstad have conceded only 5 goals.
Öster form and stats
The visitors are W1-D3-L1 on the road this term. That's in the Superettan.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Superettan home defeat versus Akropolis with 0-1 on the scoreboard. Ahead of that match was the away draw versus AFC Eskilstuna that ended 1-1.
As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Öster playing away, we found three games. Results were one away win, zero draws and two home wins.
A quick return to home after this game, as Öster are hosting Brage in the Superettan only four days away.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Öster as they have only managed to score 4 times from 5 away games in the league. 5 goals have been conceded by Öster in these games.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: six wins for Halmstad, zero draws and four wins for Öster. Over 2,5 goals: four times; under 2,5 goals: six games.Top Goalscorers
