The Battle of Resilience
Key Stats
– Halmstads BK have kept clean sheets in three out of their last five games, showing their growing defensive resilience in the Allsvenskan.
– Despite their struggles, both teams have maintained a commendable corner ratio, with Varbergs BoIS averaging 4.2 corners per game and Halmstads BK not far behind at 3.6, potentially setting the stage for a high corner count showdown.
The Varberg Energi Arena prepares for a heated Swedish Allsvenskan face-off as home side Varbergs BoIS welcomes Halmstads BK this Saturday. The clash is brimming with significance, with Varbergs BoIS, currently ensnared at the bottom of the league table, aiming to overturn their winless streak against Halmstads BK, a newly promoted side.
The Hosts’ Performance
For Varbergs BoIS, the 2023 season has been a tumultuous ride. Having played 11 games without savouring victory, the team, under the aegis of long-standing coach Joakim Persson, find themselves anchored at the bottom of the Allsvenskan. With six losses out of eleven league games, Varbergs’ current form leaves much room for improvement.

Varbergs BoIS’ defence has been notably porous, conceding 22 goals thus far. Moreover, their faltering frontline has only found the back of the net seven times, highlighting a gaping disparity in their offensive versus defensive performance. Despite home ground advantage, Varbergs have struggled to capitalise on their turf, managing to score only twice and conceding a staggering 12 goals in their home games this season. A lion’s share of these conceded goals occurred in their last three home games, posing a significant concern ahead of their encounter against Halmstads BK.
Visitors’ Mixed Bag
On the other side of the pitch, Halmstads BK have seen an intriguing start to their Allsvenskan campaign. Post their promotion, they’ve clinched five victories and endured as many losses in their opening eleven games, with a single draw. HBK’s recent three-game unbeaten streak, coupled with a resilient defence that has allowed merely a single goal in the last 270 minutes of play, instills confidence in their capabilities.
Magnus Haglund’s squad seems to be gradually acclimatising to the league, as marked by their three clean sheets in the last five gameweeks. These feats signal their growing competence, making them likely favourites in the upcoming match.
Team News and Lineups
Anticipated to feature in a 4-2-3-1 formation, Varberg’s lineup may be missing the services of Ismet Lushaku due to injury. The long-term absences of Anton Liljenbac and Gideon Mensah also pose a challenge.
Halmstads BK, in contrast, may witness the return of Gabriel Wallentin. With Viktor Granath, the team’s leading scorer, HBK can pose a significant threat to Varberg’s defence.
Performance Analysis and Predictions
The prediction is also supported by Varbergs’ tendency for accurate crosses and Halmstad’s ability to commit fewer fouls, implying fewer scoring opportunities through free-kicks. Additionally, given both teams’ below-par attacking stats, their chances of multiple goals are limited.
A captivating aspect to look out for is the corner count. Both teams have an average of approximately 4 corners per game, which combined with their defensive frailties and less possession, might result in a high corner count. Hence, it would not be surprising to witness over 11.5 corners in the game and there is currently a very interesting boosted price for this option with BetVictor.
