Halmstad vs Mjallby Predictions

Title-chasing Mjalby occupy second spot in the Superettan heading into the latest round of fixtures this weekend, but having played one more game and sitting four points behind the league leaders Varberg, this weekend’s visitors still have plenty of work to do if they want to claim first place in the table. Hosts Halmstad sit in the relegation zone after twelve games, but three points on Sunday could be enough to see them move out of the bottom four and into eleventh place.

A solitary stoppage-time strike from Cissoko saw Dalkurd snatch all three points at the death against Halmstad, despite the visitors being the better side during the ninety minutes. Halmstad have three times as many corners and twice as many shots on target than their hosts, but still ended up with nothing to show for their efforts in Gavle. Mjallby second-half substitute Silverholt handed the visitors a deserved lead away at Brommapojkarna, but a ninetieth-minute equaliser from Granden saw the hosts pinch a share of the spoils.

The head to head record between these two clubs, their form, and their performances heading into Sunday’s match suggests a double chance bet on the visitors is well worth backing and that the chances are we will see both teams score. Mjallby have won three of their last six meetings with Halmstad and have only lost two of their ten games against Halmstad. Both teams have scored and over 2.5 goals were produced in four of the last six encounters between the two clubs. Halmstad have lost three, drawn one, and won two of their last six matches, while Mjallby have won five and drawn one of their last six, which is why we’re backing the visitors to win 2-1 this weekend.

With four league goals to his name this season, Wiedesheim-Paul remains the only Halmstad player to have scored more than once in the league. Bergström top scores for the visitors with six Superettan goals to his name, but teammate Nilsson has chipped in with three goals of his own. We’re confident that a double chance bet on Mjallby has an excellent chance of paying out this weekend, and have predicted a final scoreline of 2-1 to the visitors on Sunday. Mjallby are in great form and look full of confidence, and head into Sunday’s match with a very good recent record of avoiding defeat in matches against Halmstad.
