Having taken all 3 points, with a crucial 1-0 away win over IF Brommapojkarna in their last league game, Halmstads BK will undoubtedly be very satisfied with their work.  In that game they had 25% possession and managed 6 attempts on goal, with 3 on target, compared to IF Brommapojkarna who had 12 attempts and 1 on target.  

It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 8 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 9 goals shipped and valuable points dropped.  They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they have only kept 2 clean sheets in their last 6 games at Örjans Vall.  

They have had a good run of form at Örjans Vall recently, having won 4 out of their last 6 home games.  

On an individual basis, Yannick Agnero has scored in each of Halmstads BK's last 4 league games.

GAIS had to settle for a share of the spoils in their last match, which ran out a 1-1 draw against IFK Varnamo.  They achieved 61% possession in that match and had 21 strikes at goal, with 5 hitting the target, up against IFK Varnamo's tally of 13 efforts at goal, 3 of which were on target.  

They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 5 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 5 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points.  They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.  

Whilst they have only lost 1 of their last 6 games there will be concern over the amount of points dropped with 4 draws from those games.
