Helsingborg hosts Kalmar in round 19 of Swedish Allsvenskan. The match will be played on Wednesday, September 9th at Olympia (Helsingborg)
The titled Helsingborg (5-time champion of Sweden), which has returned to the elite this season, does not look hopeless at all. Sometimes it shows gorgeous performances, where the skillful attack of the Reds came to the fore. For example, it breached the defense of the reigning champion Djurgarden three times in the last round (a 3:1 victory). That was not the only positive act of the Reds at their home stadium “Olympia” in the current championship. Strong Norrkoping (2:3) and the once formidable AIK (0:2) have recently laid down their arms there. In general, the men of Olof Mellberg do not often leave the field without scoring goals. In particular, they have recently upset the goalkeepers of the well-known Malmo (1:4), strong Hammarby (1:1), Falkenbergs (2:2), Goteborg (1:1), Sirius (1:2), etc.

If we look at Kalmar, things of this team are even worse than that of Helsingborg. The defense of the visitors is the worst in Allsvenskan since it concedes 1.8 goals per match. By the way, the defective defense of the Red Brothers managed to cope with the opponent’s attack in only three out of 18 matches of the current championship. Moreover, it is interesting that the rear of Kalmar suffers mainly in the matches with opponents from the lower part of the standings. The visitors have conceded a bunch of goals from Mjallby (four), Ostersunds (two), Orebro (three), etc. Apparently, they are trying to play open football with their own kind, and this makes it even worse!
In my opinion, Helsingborg, which is inspired by the confident victory over the champion, will find the strength to score at least one goal to the net of its direct competitor in the struggle for survival. It’s time to take vengeance for a shameful 0-4 defeat in the first-round match, right?
Prediction for the match: Helsingborg to score over 1.0 goal
