Kalmar - Halmstad predictions

Kalmar are easily the favourites in the match this Saturday, but we wouldn’t call a Home Win bet at the odds of 2.01 safe, exactly. They are more likely to win than not, but Halmstad may have a few tricks up their sleeve yet.

It’s highly unlikely that Halmstad will manage to get some points this round. Kalmar are at a considerable advantage, so even a draw would be a success for the visitors.

Kalmar’s previous Allsvenskan clash came down to a single goal making the difference. Kalmar held well for the first 45 minutes but did not have enough gas in their tank to push through the entire match. In the end, a narrow Mjällby home defeat is what they will be looking to bounce back from this Saturday.

Halmstad’s performance in the last round can only be described as incredible. Despite being tagged as clear underdogs and a home-field disadvantage, they took the lead in the first half and won with a very strong 1:3 score against Värnamo.

Looking over the home team’s recent record, we can see a worrying trend. They’ve conceded more than 5 goals over the past 3 matches alone, indicating problems in their defensive lineup.

Kalmar previously played this match as the visitors in a previous round of the Allsvenskan and suffered a fairly narrow defeat. Most bookies believe things will end differently this time, pricing a home win at 2.01.

Fortunately, both teams will be able to give their all this Saturday. Neither squad has been affected by injuries or suspensions, allowing the coaches to work with all the tools at their disposal.

We can say with no small amount of confidence that this match will confirm the Over 2.5 Goals market. Both teams fit the bill for such a wager perfectly, so this is a very safe bet, offered at the odds of 2.05 at Betway.
