Helsingborg form and stats

Helsingborg have collected 20 points from their Superettan home games so far after 6-2-3.

Helsingborg manager J. Lennartsson and his team return home after a 2-2 draw away versus Norrby (placed 6th) in the Superettan.

Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Oster (1-2).

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 Helsingborg have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found eleven games) they have won three times, drawn four and lost four.

A decent goal production from Helsingborg in their home games so far, with 18 goals from 11 league matches. From these home matches, Helsingborg have conceded only 9 goals. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
