Halmstads BK vs. IF Elfsborg Match Preview Article
Welcome to the Turboscores match preview of the upcoming match between Halmstads BK and IF Elfsborg, taking place on Sunday, 25 May 2025, at Örjans Vall in Halmstad.
Halmstads BK, Recent Form
Building up confidence within his squad will be a priority for Halmstads BK supremo Johan Lindholm after sustaining a heavy 3-0 away loss to Malmo FF. They achieved 27% possession in that match and had 7 strikes at goal, with 1 hitting the target, up against Malmo FF's tally of 17 efforts at goal, 6 of which were on target.
Lindholm\ will be doing some careful analysis of his defence, who have seen their goal breached 12 times in their last 6 games while somehow managing to pick up some points along the way with 8 goals scored. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.
With 3 defeats and just 2 wins from their last 6 outings, this cannot be regarded as a good run of form.
Goalscorer Yannick Agnero will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 5 goals in his last 6 league matches for Halmstads BK.
IF Elfsborg, Recent Form
In their last match IF Elfsborg enforced their superiority over Djurgardens IF with a 4-0 home win. Their share of possession in that meeting was 36%, while racking up 10 shots along the way, 7 of which were on target. Djurgardens IF had 6 shots on goal with 2 on target.
Their boss Oscar Hiljemark has every reason to be happy with his side's attacking prowess of late, which has seen them net 15 goals in their last 6 matches; however, they may have some work to do in defence with 8 goals conceded across those matches. They've kept a clean sheet in 3 of their last 6 away games, and they've scored in 9 of their 10 games overall this season.
They've had a good run of form recently, with 4 straight wins in a row.
With 3 goals scored in his last 6 away games for IF Elfsborg, Simon Hedlund will be looking to add more goals against Halmstads BK in this match.
Halmstads BK vs. IF Elfsborg Head to head
It was one to forget for Halmstads BK last time they met IF Elfsborg in the league, falling to a 0-1 defeat.
Di Gule have managed to keep a clean sheet against Halmstad in each of their previous 3 meetings. The Halmstad defence has struggled against Di Gule in past meetings, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 9 games. In their past 5 meetings, Elfsborg's defence has been pretty stingy, only conceding 1 goal, so HBK will have to take their chances when they come.
Elfsborg will be looking to continue their winning streak against Halmstad, having won each of the last 5 times they have met in the league and being unbeaten in their last 5 meetings.
