Halmstads BK Seeks Trend Break in Early Bottom Meeting

Halmstads BK started their return to Allsvenskan by beating Östersund at home 1-0. Then they took points from both Jönköping and AFC Eskilstuna away.

What's happening now?

Halmstads BK faces Kalmar in an early bottom meeting. A win away to Kalmar would mean creating a five-point gap to the bottom teams.

Why is it important?

– The season has just started and there are 25 rounds left, but it's important. We want to take as many points as we can and we're down there, says Halmstads goalkeeper Isak Pettersson.

How does the team look?

The defense has been great and I feel really good back there. We have good communication between us and keep many teams away from scoring chances.
