Helsingborg form and stats

When playing at home in the Superettan, Helsingborg, who have the most clean sheets (11) in Superettan, have managed 5 wins, 1 draw and suffered 3 defeats from 9 games.

The home team returns to Olympia after being equal after 90 minutes with AFC Eskilstuna (placed 8th) on their last time out; the Superettan game ended 2-2.

Before that match, a win away at Landskrona.

This is expected to be a close game, with Helsingborg perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Helsingborg as a small favourite), we find six games. Helsingborg has won two of these, drawn two and lost two.

Helsingborg have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Olympia with 14 goals in 9 league matches. Helsingborg have only conceded 8 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Trelleborg form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their Superettan travels is 3 wins, 3 draws and 3 defeats.

Impressive finishing from H. Offia, M. Håkansson and D. Kozica secured the home win 3-1 against Brage in their previous game.

A home win before that, celebrating 1-0 vs Oster.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Trelleborg playing away and similar expectations, we found 13 relevant matches. Results were four Trelleborg wins, five draws and four defeats.

The schedule is very tough for Trelleborg now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Superettan game at Norrby is waiting in only four days.

Trelleborg find the net regularly in their away games. 12 goals from 9 away fixtures in the league. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. As opposed to that, Trelleborg have seen the ball go into their own net 13 times on the road. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
