IFK Norrkoping vs Halmstad Predictions

• Norrkoping haven’t won across their last eight games, losing seven times
• The hosts have won just three of 14 games this season
• Halmstad have won three of their four clashes with the bottom five, including two away wins

Halmstad to hold off basement side

Bottom club Norrkoping head into this clash as odds-on favourites for the points despite winning just three of their first 14 league games this season. The hosts have seen things go from bad to worse of late, picking up a single point across their previous eight games.

Halmstad aren’t in great form and they’re 11th in the standings, which offers Norrkoping an opportunity. However, the visitors have managed to stay afloat this season thanks to preying on the teams beneath them in the table.

Halmstad have won three of their four visits to teams below them in the standings, accounting for half of their six wins so far. While the visitors aren’t in great form, they’ve won two of three visits to the bottom five, while Norrkoping have suffered nine defeats including seven in their last eight starts.

The hosts haven’t won since late April and Halmstad look like good value to keep that run going.
