Match Previews

Helsingborg struggling badly domestically...their season hangs on UEFA Cup...Larsson (k) (att) back from ban...Makondele (mid), Ronningberg (r) (def) and Gustaf Andersson (sp) (att) all out...Helsingborg have been very poor in the Swedish league and their last match ended in a very disappointing home draw with Brommapojkarna.  At the end of that game the side were booed off by their fans so they will be very anxious to lift themselves here.  Perhaps they will be helped by being away from home as any kind of draw or even a narrow, scoring, defeat would be viewed as a positive result.  Daniel Andersson (r) is one of the few players to have had a good season so he will stay in goal but with Ronningberg (r) injured Jakobsson (k) will continue in the centre of defence alongside Beloufa (r).  Chris Andersson (r) will be on one flank but Wahlstedt (r) will surely replace Tamboura (sp) on the other side as Stuart Baxter looks to ring the changes.  Skulason (r) could be the sacrificial lamb from the middle of the park with Dahl (sp) coming in to play beside Lantz (r).  Svanback (r) and Kolar (r) were both respectable on the wing last time and should keep their places.  In attack Larsson (k) is available again after a ban and he will almost certainly replace Karekazi (sp) and join Omotoyossi (r) in attack.  Helsingborg can be a good team, hence why their form has been so disappointing this season. The UEFA Cup offers them their one chance of salvation and they will be going all out to stay alive for the second leg.
