Helsingborgs IF welcome Vaernamo on Sunday, Aug 9 at 3:00 PM in a Superettan fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 1 point split them in the table.

Helsingborgs IF come into this fixture out of form (1W 2L recently). Vaernamo travel struggling badly (1W 3L in last 5), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

Despite playing at home, Helsingborgs IF face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Vaernamo have won 8 of 10 encounters. Their last encounter ended in Helsingborgs IF won 1–3. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.8 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Helsingborgs IF a slight edge, but Vaernamo are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
