As well as international action, Friday night brings us top flight action from Sweden’s Allsvenskan with Orebro taking on Helsingborg as the betting tips continue at the Behrn Arena with the hosts desperately seeking all three points here.
Orebro Prediction- Can Orebro avoid a fourth defeat on trot at home?
9th placed Orebro could be forgiven for being reluctant to return to their home turf of the Behrn Arena following 3 league defeats on the trot on home soil.
Despite recording wins on the road at GIF Sundsvall, Ostersunds and Goteborg in 2-1, 3-1 and 1-0 wins in recent times, they’ve struggled at home this season.
Orebro have managed just 1 win on home turf at their Behrn Arena so far this season which was a 2-1 win over 3rd placed AIK.
This proves that the hosts are capable of upsetting the better teams in the division, and although they’ve lost to Hammarby, Norrkoping and Sirius recently, they’re facing a poor away side here.
The host’s overall home record stands at an average looking 1-1-4 6/12 but they hold a solid record against Helsingborg.
The last 10 meetings between these two sides have seen Orebro pick up 2 wins and there have also been a spate of draws – 8 to be precise.
Midfielders Rogic and Larsson (4 goals apiece) along with forward Strandberg (4 goals) should ensure the hosts avoid a fourth defeat on the trot here.
Helsingborg Prediction – Can Argentina live up to favourites tag here?
If Orebro’s recent results have been ordinary, then third from bottom club, Helsingborg’s have been poor by comparison in recent times.
Helsingborg have failed to win any of their last 9 matches overall in the Swedish top flight, a run that includes 5 defeats and 4 draws.
The visitors have recorded just 2 league wins so far in this season’s Allsvenskan, both of which were registered on home turf at their Olympia ground.
Wins over Norrkoping and Hammarby promised the visitors so much, but they’ve since slumped, not only on home turf, but also on their travels too.
An away record of 0-1-4 3/10 is an even worse return than Orebro’s on home turf, and includes conceding 2 or more goals in 3 of their 5 away matches to date.
Defeats at Hacken, Goteborg, Ostersunds and Kalmar – the latter two being against bottom half clubs, show their vulnerability on the road this season.
With just 2 wins out of their last 17 away matches, Helsingborg have struggled for results on their travels for some time now.

- Orebro are unbeaten in their last 10 meetings against Helsingborg
- Helsingborg have failed to win any of their last 9 matches overall in the Allsvenskan

Betting Tips Verdict
