Halmstad have faced a tough run of form, losing five of their last six matches, and now hover just two points above the relegation zone in Sweden’s top league. Their season has been a rollercoaster, securing six wins from 15 games but also suffering nine defeats, the highest in the league. Facing a consistent Varnamo side doesn’t bode well for them.
Varnamo have been strong in the league, losing just two of their last nine games and showcasing one of the strongest defences in the division. They’ve also proven more formidable on the road, claiming four wins from seven away league games this season.
This could spell trouble for Halmstad, who have been faltering lately. It seems prudent to back Varnamo to edge ahead of Halmstad as both teams currently sit level on points in a congested lower half of the table.
Given that both teams have scored in four of Halmstad’s last five fixtures, a 2-1 victory for the visitors seems a reasonable prediction.
