It's been four days since Helsingborg faced Västerås SK and the scoreline was 4-0. What happens against Värnamo?

Insights:
  • Helsingborg have scored at least twice as many goals as they have conceded.
  • Värnamo have the most clean sheets (7) in Superettan

These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Superettan. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Västerås SK.

Helsingborg form and stats

The Helsingborg goalkeeper Anders Lindegaard is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 333 minutes without conceding a goal in the Superettan.

A strong away win for Helsingborg against Västerås SK the last match, as R. Jönsson and A. van den Hurk (3) were on target. As indicated by the result mentioned above, Helsingborg played a great game against Västerås SK and beat them comfortably. Expectations are high for this one. A. van den Hurk was absolutely essential when Helsingborg beat Västerås SK 4-0, scoring three goals.

Before that, Helsingborg had a home game versus Akropolis which ended with a victory 1-0.

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 nine games) they have won two times, drawn three and lost four.

Helsingborg has scored 6 league goals at home this season, in 5 matches. Helsingborg are not conceding a lot of goals here at Olympia in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 4 from 5 matches.
