Key Players
Alexander Johansson is Helsingborg's main goal scorer with 7 in 17 in the 2026 Swedish second tier, while Kai Meriluoto has netted 5 in 17 in 2026 for Varnamo, netting 3 of Varnamo's last 6 goals in the last 5 games.
Betting Insights
- Helsingborgs are priced as slight favorites at 2.15 ahead of Varnamo at 2.95 and the tie at 3.75.
- Varnamo have been poor away from home all season, conceding 25 goals in 9, and we think a free-flowing Helsingborgs should enjoy some success at the other end, so Over 2.5 goals at 1.62 looks good and Both Teams to Score at 1.5 has chances.
Prediction
- This should be a clash of styles that favors Helsingborg.
- Helsingborgs are the more likely winner of this Superettan 2026 matchup but Varnamo caused an upset away in their last trip and the form suggests this could be tense, so a BTTS selection seems the way to go.
