IFK Varnamo vs Helsingborg Prediction 16.06.2026 | Superettan

IFK Varnamo return to home soil still mired in a worrying domestic slump, with their recent struggles reflected by the fact that they have collected just a single point from their last seven second-tier fixtures, a run that has dragged them into the automatic relegation zone.

The White-Blues have found victories increasingly difficult to come by over the past two months, managing only two wins from their previous nine league outings, while their defensive resilience has completely evaporated, having conceded two or more goals in all but one match during their ongoing seven-game winless streak.

However, if there is one fixture capable of reigniting their campaign and steering them back towards winning ways, it may well be the visit of Helsingborg, as Varnamo boast an outstanding head-to-head record against Tuesday's opponents, having defeated them in each of their last six meetings.

Team news is further complicated by the absence of 21-year-old midfielder Logi Hrafn Robertsson, who serves a suspension after collecting his third yellow card of the season in the club's most recent outing, while Ishaq Abdulrazak is expected to step into the midfield in his place.

As for Helsingborgs IF, they make the trip to Jonkoping County in the midst of a frustratingly inconsistent Superettan campaign, one that has left their travelling supporters deeply disappointed given the expectations surrounding the club at the start of the season, when they were widely viewed as genuine contenders for the upper reaches of the table.

Currently sitting seventh in the standings, the Red Ones have struggled to build any sustained momentum in recent weeks, suffering defeat in three of their last four league outings, a sequence that has dealt a significant blow to their hopes of mounting a serious challenge for the automatic promotion places.

While their attacking output has shown signs of encouragement, averaging 1.6 goals per game, HIF's recurring defensive frailties and vulnerability in transition have repeatedly undermined their progress, most notably in back-to-back defeats to IFK Norrköping and Landskrona BoIS by 2-0 and 3-0 scorelines respectively.

Team news remains relatively straightforward for the visitors, with centre-forward Alexander Fesshaie continuing his recovery from a long-term injury, while head coach Stevie Grieve may be tempted to shuffle his pack in an attempt to halt his side's recent slide in form.
