Västerås
- Västerås have won 4, drawn 4 and lost 3 of 11 home games in Allsvenskan 2026, averaging 1.55 scored and 1.18 conceded per game.
- That isn't great form, but neither is Vasteras SK's recent run from their last 5 matches.
Halmstad
- Halmstad are the worst away team in Allsvenskan 2026 with 3 draws and 9 losses from 12 games.
- Halmstad's 12 road games have seen them lose 9 and draw 3, so it's hard to see them pulling an upset.
- Halmstad have averaged just 0.58 goals scored per game away from home in Allsvenskan 2026.
Head-to-Head
- Västerås are the form team in the head-to-head, having won two of the last three in Allsvenskan 2026.
- This should set up a nice battle of styles and if Halmstad are able to control the midfield and play compact, they may have a chance to win.
Key Players
- Alexander Rubin's side have a pragmatic system with three-at-the-back and wing-backs which allows the team to play on the break and in the wide areas rather than playing the ball around for too long.
- Mikkel Ladefoged is their most dangerous player with 10 goals in 14 games, but Axel Taonsa has been on fire lately, scoring 2 of the team's 6 goals in the last 5 matches.
- Halmstads' top scorer is actually not so bad himself, but Omar Faraj has scored just 4 goals in 22 matches.
Betting Insights
- Västerås SK FK, who currently sit 7th with 35 points from 23 games, are 1.76 favorites to beat a Halmstads BK who have 14 points from the same amount of games and sit 16th.
- The draw is at 3.8 with the visitors, Halmstad, a hefty 4.18, so it looks as though Västerås should be the main pick for the game.
- The odds tell us everything we need to know about Friday's Allsvenskan matchup at Hitachi Energy Arena.
Prediction
- Västerås are the better team and they should come out on top, but a safer bet would be for them to beat Halmstad and under 3.5 goals, as they have a home edge but Halmstad don't score much away from home.
- But it's not quite that simple as Halmstad have been known to cause their fair share of upsets in recent years and the home team are not exactly in red-hot form themselves, so let's look for some better value.
