Varberg BoIS vs Halmstad Predictions

• Fewer than three goals have been scored in the last two Varberg matches.
• Fewer than three goals have been scored in seven of Halmstad’s last nine Allsvenakan games.
• Varberg have scored a total of only two goals in six home games this season.

Impotent Varberg remain rooted to the bottom

Varberg’s struggles in front of goal could continue when they face an improving Halmstad side in a game in which chances are likely to be at a premium this Saturday.

Sitting at the foot of the standings, Joakim Persson’s side have lost six of their last eight games and scored just four times during that awful run. They were frustrated and then picked off at home by 10-man Hacken on Monday night, leaving confidence at a low ebb.

Halmstad, by contrast, will arrive in good spirits as they seek a third away win on the bounce. Their momentum was slightly dented by Sunday’s 0-0 draw at home to Hammarby, however.

Halmstad rely on big targetman

HBK play through giant striker Victor Granath, who has scored four of their 11 goals this term, but they may not get as much joy from him against a tall Varberg backline that has had more trouble containing mobile forwards.

The visitors are one of the least prolific sides in the Allsvanskan, notching exactly one goal per game in general and away from home, which suggests an under 2.5 goals play is worthwhile in this spot as they have shipped just the once in their last 180 minutes on the road.
