Halmstads BK vs. IF Elfsborg Match Preview Article
Welcome to the Turboscores match preview of the upcoming match between Halmstads BK and IF Elfsborg, taking place on Sunday, 15 September 2024, at Örjans Vall in Halmstad.
Halmstads BK, Recent Form
Halmstads BK will not be too disheartened with their 3-1 away defeat at the hands of Mjallby AIF who sit 9 places above them in the table. They came away from that fixture with 42% of the possession and clocked up 2 attempts on goal with 1 on target. By comparison, Mjallby AIF managed 10 attempts on goal, with 3 on target.
They have found the net 4 times in their last 6 matches, but it hasn't earned them much points-wise due to a leaky defence that's shipped 12 goals in that same period. They have failed to score in their last 2 home games, and they have also failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.
Halmstads BK will not be enjoying their recent run of poor form, having lost 5 league games in a row no wins in 5 games.
Birnir Ingason will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 3 goals in the last 6 league outings for Halmstads BK.
IF Elfsborg, Recent Form
IF Elfsborg had to make do with a share of the points in their last match, with a 3-3 draw against IF Brommapojkarna. In that game they recorded 53 % of the possession, with 21 attempts on goal, 9 on target. Their opponents found the target on 5 of their 10 shots on goal.
While they have been strong in attack with 13 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 9 at the other end which has led to points being dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games, but so far this season they have conceded at least one goal in 9 of their 10 games on the road.
There will be mixed feelings from Di Gule, having been undefeated in their last 3 away league games, but drawn the last 2 of these games.
Away from home in the league, Terry Yegbe has given the IF Elfsborg travelling fans plenty to get excited about, with 3 goals from their last 6 games on the road.
