Helsingborg take on the visitors Degerfors at “Olympia" in the gameweek 12 of the Swedish Superettan. The match will be played in Helsingborg on Sunday, June 10th.
Helsingborg are the four-time champion of the Swedish Allsvenskan and three-time winner of the Svenska Cupen. In 2011 the club got the gold medals of the elite division and now it has stuck in the Superettan. The side demonstrated inconsistent results in the previous season because “Skanes Stolthet” had only relegated from the Allsvenskan and had to adjust to the new circumstances. However, in this season the hosts are eager to return to the elite division. At the moment Helsingborg settle on the fourth position in the second division standings with 20 points earned and one spare clash. And in the case of triumph in the forthcoming fight the team will moves very close to the leading Falkenbergs which is an extremely good incentives for the forthcoming battle, especially bearing in mind that “Skanes Stolthet” gained four out of six overall victories in this season at the home ground.

In their turn, last time Degerfors performed in the Swedish elite division in 1997 and after its relegation, the side has not managed to get back to Allsvenskan since then till now. The most successful year for the club in the Superettan was 2013 when it reached the fourth place. Degerfors are quite solid team, nevertheless, it is not ready to promote to the elite division or to compete on equal with the club which is capable to do it. The upcoming visitors are sitting now on the sixth position in the Superettan table with 18 points collected. It should be noted that the side has not failed across five encounters in a row, however, all those battles were against the opponents, sitting lower in the standings.
Last season the sides recorded 1:1 draw at Degerfors’ pitch while Helsingborg celebrated a confident 3:0 triumph at their own turf. Although the visitors look strong enough at the start of this season, still, their football level is significantly lower. Besides, Degerfors are not going to promote to the elite division unlike the hosts which have such aim and the victory in the forthcoming tackle will allow Helsingborg to share the first-second positions in the table with Falkenbergs which is quite promising in terms of their tasks for this season.
Prediction for the match: Helsingborg to win.
