Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Halmia & Helsingborg face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Svenska Cupen. All the pre-match information is available here!
It's no vacation for neither Halmia nor Helsingborg as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Halmia form and stats
Action has already taken place for Halmia in Svenska Cupen as they have defeated Lindome to reach the 2nd Round. Halmia was eliminated in the 1st round last season in the Svenska Cupen.Halmia have collected 5 points from their Division 2: Vastra Gotaland home games so far after 1-2-2.
An away draw last time out for Halmia, facing Vinberg in a game that ended 1-1. Before that game, the home loss against Ullared with the scoreline 0-2.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Vastra Frolunda are coming to town in three days.
The Halmia fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 6 in 5 matches. Halmia have conceded 8 from these games.
Helsingborg form and stats
They also participated in Svenska Cupen last season. This ended in the 2nd round.There's been little loot from Helsingborg's travels as they have only collected 8 points from 11 away games in the Allsvenskan. Helsingborg only have 1 win to counter their 5 defeats and 5 draws.
Helsingborg might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Östersunds FK proved too strong as Helsingborg slumped to a 0-1 defeat in front of their own fans at Olympia. Before that one, a nice away victory 3-1 at Varberg.
The visitors will be packing their bags again in only four days as another away game awaits: The Allsvenskan trip to Mjallby.
Helsingborg have scored 12 goals on their travels this season, from 11 away games in the league. The Helsingborg manager O. Mellberg has some worries about the defense as 22 goals have been conceded in these travels.
