Two ex-Allsvenskan clubs are in transition
Our Helsingborgs IF vs IFK Norrkoping prediction focuses on two clubs who have been through some tough times and are on the road to recovery, and both face an important matchup in their attempt to get back into the top tier.
Stevie Grieve has adopted a bold approach for his Helsingborgs IF, deploying a flexible 4-2-3-1/4-3-3 hybrid system that relies on advanced playmakers and overloads wide.
His team’s approach has been attack first, playing fast-paced vertical transitions and triggering their opponents’ pressing triggers to try and exploit the spaces left behind.
In Max Svensson (4 assists in Helsingborgs IF’s last 5 games) they have a real spark of creativity in the final third, but Alexander Johansson remains their main attacking weapon, he’s scored 5 goals in 9 Superettan appearances and scored 3 of his side’s last 10 goals.
Norrkoping looking to build a strong away record
This Helsingborgs IF vs IFK Norrkoping preview highlights how Eldar Abdulic has built a different type of system, with Norrkoping’s 4-3-3/4-2-3-1 structure based around high pressing tempo, combinations from the front three and direct attacks.
It’s been a very even start for Norrkoping, averaging 1.00 goals scored and 0.80 conceded from 5 away games (2 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses) and Tim Prica has been a dependable goal threat, he’s notched 5 times in 9 games in the Superettan.
Christoffer Nyman has added 2 goals in 5 games and Norrkoping have enough quality to play a fast-paced game.
Helsingborgs IF have had a mixed home form in the competition so far (1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss from 3) while Norrkoping have had a pretty even away record.
