A 1-1 draw against Djurgardens IF will be viewed as a positive outcome for Halmstads BK and a valuable point into the bargain.  They achieved 33% possession in that match and had 5 strikes at goal, with 2 hitting the target, up against Djurgardens IF's tally of 22 efforts at goal, 2 of which were on target.  

While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 4 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 10, and leading to valuable points being dropped.   They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games.  

Having drawn 2 of their last 6 games they have at least put some points on the table, but they will not be overly happy with only 1 win.

It was just a point apiece for IK Sirius and Osters IF in their last match, which ended in a 1-1 draw.  In that game they recorded 66 % of the possession, with 15 attempts on goal, 7 on target. Their opponents found the target on 3 of their 12 shots on goal.  

Having scored 6 goals and conceded 11 in their last 6 games, they will need to improve at both ends if they are to pick up more points from here on.  Their goal scoring streak away from home now stands at 12 games in a row, but they have failed to record a clean sheet in their last 10 games overall.  

Their recent poor run of form away from home has left them without an away win in 8 games.  

The IK Sirius travelling support have had something to shout about on the road via the goals from Robbie Ure, who's scored 4 goals in their last 6 league matches away from home.
