Halmstad are one of the favorites in this year’s Superettan, Sweden’s second division. After being relegated from top division Allsvenskan last season, HBK have made some very sensible signings, returning defender Peter Larsson perhaps the pick of them all. They are also getting top scorer Johan Oremo back from injury. Oremo only managed 6 games (3 goals) after being signed from Gefle last season before getting injured, but is now back fully fit.
Halmstad won their difficult season opener away to Degerfors 2-1, and being notoriously hard to beat at home ground Örjans Vall, we believe they have every chance of running out winners here. All in all the south west coast outfit seem well equipped to make an immediate return to the top flight.
Norrby finished last season strong and just about avoided relegation playoffs. They seem to have picked up where they left off and have started this season with a win and a draw after two rounds. It should be mentioned that they have played two of the perhaps weakest teams in the league in Varberg BoIS and IK Frej. A trip to Halmstad is a completely different thing.
With 10 defeats in 15 outings away from home last season we think the visitors will leave Örjans Vall empty handed.
