THE PREDICTION
An impressive 1-0 for Halmstad over a Hacken side who enjoyed a successful Allsvenskan campaign in 2020 which saw them finish third-place, was very much a statement from the side newly promoted to the top flight after winning the second tier of Swedish football last season. The onus is now on Halmstad to back this result up away at Sirius, who finished comfortably in midtable last season and have begun this year’s campaign with a 1-1 draw away at Norrkoping. A close encounter is expected, with Sirius a solid outfit but the visitors on a huge high after their opening round victory. Halmstad will likely prioritise defensive solidarity in this one, building on the clean sheet accrued vs Hacken as they look to soak up any pressure enforced by Sirius. This may lead to a frustrating afternoon for the hosts, with a second successive draw on the cards for them in this one. However, this early in this season, a point would likely be seen as a positive one by both sides.
