Halmstad - Mjällby predictions

The visitors are well aware of the challenge ahead of them. To defeat Halmstad on their home field would be a significant achievement, and it is never an easy undertaking.

Mjällby are heading into what’s surely be a challenge. Halmstad are not to be taken lightly and an away victory would certainly be a big success for the visitors.

The away loss Halmstad went through in the previous round at Kalmar wasn’t much of a surprise, though the first half was. They scraped together a lead at the 45-minute mark, but it all fell apart before the end, resulting in a 5:2 defeat.

The away team narrowly missed out on a chance to win their previous Allsvenskan game, which they played at home. They took the lead in the first half, which was encouraging considering the game could have gone either way. Unfortunately for them, their opponents managed to equalise before the final whistle.

The biggest issue the hosts have is a lacklustre backline. They’re currently on a bit of a trend of conceding a lot of goals – over 5 across their 3 previous matches, to be exact.

Mjällby can certainly boast a level of consistency. They scored at least once in the previous 7 consecutive matches, and will likely be looking to carry on the trend.

Mjällby may be the favourites in this matchup, but they failed to press that advantage when they met Halmstad earlier in the season. This earlier bout ended in a draw, so the away team will be looking to redeem themselves.

Thanks to a lack of suspensions or injuries, both teams will have their full rosters ready for an exciting game.

An Over 2.5 Goals is a great bet if you like staying on the safe side. The betting value for this market is strong compared even to the 2.25, which makes this an easy betting prediction to make.
