Halmstad - Mjällby betting tips and odds

Though the home team can be called favourites, they can’t quite relax going into the match at Mjällby. Their advantage is quite narrow, and just a few mistakes could end up costing them the game.

The visiting team knows that beating Halmstad on their own turf will be a major accomplishment, and it is always a formidable challenge.

Halmstad haven’t exactly been showing their best form lately. For instance, last round’s home draw 0:0 against Degerfors ended in a lukewarm draw. It’s far from a disaster but most of us – including the world’s best online bookmakers – expected a lot more considering they played at home.

With Allsvenskan betting odds decidedly against them and a home-field disadvantage, the away team’s chances of winning the previous round were incredibly slim. They predictably lost 1:0, though the narrow goal difference adds some silver lining to that outing.

The previous two Allsvenskan matches Halmstad participated in ended with minimal goals on the board for either team – 1 or none, to be exact. This displays a form of consistency which can be valuable for betting markets like Under 5 Goals.

Our confidence in Mjällby and, more specifically, their defenses, is shaky at best. After more than 5 concessions in three consecutive home games, most bookies and pundits see them as unreliable.

Halmstad won this matchup decisively last season, securing a solid goal difference. They’re also understandably favourites to win this match, as showcased by the 2.48 home win betting odds.

With no injuries or suspensions to deal with, both teams will be able to give their all this Sunday.

An Under 2.5 Goals bet is an easy tip to offer – it’s a fairly probable outcome with betting odds priced at a comfortable 1.62. More importantly, though, the betting value it offers is surprisingly solid.
