Helsingborgs IF
Stevie Grieve has instilled a pro-active, high-pressing, risk-taking, attack-minded style on Helsingborgs this season, and they can be a great watch to play. In their new 4-2-3-1/4-3-3 hybrid system, Grieve's men press high and attempt to win the ball back in advanced positions, using their extra players to transition into the attack as quickly as possible.
The hosts have not won any of their last 3 at home, with their record now reading won 3, drawn 1 and lost 2 from six at the Olympia stadium in Superettan 2026.

Landskrona BoIS
Robin Asterhed's side are a different beast to their opponents on Thursday, as they are patient in their build-up and favour a more technical style of play, where they control the ball in a narrow midfield and rely on their full-backs to provide width and penetration.
The most recent head-to-head meeting finished in a 0-0 draw at Helsingborg's home ground in the Superettan 2025 season, but we're expecting plenty more action on the pitch this time around.
The derby feel will be heightened by the fact that the two clubs are only 150km apart, so there will be some extra fire in the bellies of the players on Thursday.
We're backing the draw at 3.44, as both sides have been in patchy form recently, while over 2.5 goals and both teams to score – yes, both come in at very appealing odds of 1.78 and 1.61 respectively.
Helsingborgs will press Landskrona high up the field and try to force turnovers close to the visitors' goal, while Landskrona will be content to keep the ball and carve out opportunities by patiently working the opposition out of their positions. It's a combination that should lead to an entertaining and closely fought matchup.
