Halmstads BK vs. Mjallby AIF Match Preview Article
Welcome to the Turboscores match preview of the upcoming match between Halmstads BK and Mjällby AIF, taking place on Sunday, 22 October 2023, at Örjans Vall in Halmstad.
Halmstads BK, Recent Form
Halmstads BK were forced to settle for a share of the points in their last league match, which wound up a 0-0 draw against Degerfors IF. They came away from that fixture with 42% of the possession and clocked up 14 attempts on goal with 4 on target. By comparison, Degerfors IF managed 6 attempts on goal, with 1 on target.
It's fair to say that he will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 4 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 6 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. They have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 home games, and over the course of the season they have failed to score in 7 of their [%HT_Games_Season_Home% games played at Örjans Vall.
With 3 defeats and just 1 win from their last 6 home league games at Örjans Vall, it's clear they are not having a good run of home form at the moment.
Mjallby AIF, Recent Form
Failing to acquire any points in their 1-0 away defeat by AIK will have left the Mjällby AIF squad feeling a little deflated. They achieved 43% possession in that match and had 5 strikes at goal, with 3 hitting the target, up against AIK's tally of 9 efforts at goal, 3 of which were on target.
He will be quite satisfied with his squad's offensive prowess in recent performances. They have managed to notch up 6 goals from their last 6 outings. However, the manager will know they have work to do at the back where they have let in 8 goals and, as a result, lost some important points. In their last 6 away games, they have scored in 4 and kept a clean sheet in 3.
Having clocked up 4 wins from their last 6 away matches, they've shown a good streak of form away from home of late.
With 3 goals from the last 6 away outings in the league, David Löfquist has given the travelling Mjällby AIF support something to shout about on the road.
