Varbergs BoIS vs Helsingborg Prediction

Varbergs BoIS vs Helsingborg Prediction: Can the Home Side Bounce Back?

When Varbergs BoIS hosts Helsingborg at Påskbergsvallen on May 3, 2.22, it’s more than just a Superettan fixture—it’s a chance for redemption. The last time these two met, Helsingborg handed Varbergs a brutal 0-3 defeat. But with fresh odds and AI-backed insights, this Varbergs BoIS vs Helsingborg prediction dives into whether the home side can turn the tables or if the visitors will continue their dominance.

Recent Form and Head-to-Head History

Football has a funny way of balancing the scales. Varbergs’ humbling 0-3 loss to Helsingborg in August 2024 still stings, but their gritty 1-1 draw against Hammarby FF earlier this year (at odds of 12.0!) proves they’re capable of surprises. Helsingborg, meanwhile, has had their own moments of unpredictability—like their 1-1 away draw with Osters IF in 2023, when win odds sat at 6.4.

• Last H2H: Helsingborg won 3.0 (Varbergs odds: 3.04, Helsingborg: 2.27).


• Varbergs’ shock result: 1-1 vs. Hammarby at 12.0 odds.


• Helsingborg’s surprise: 1-1 at Osters IF at 6.4 win odds.

Betting Odds and AI Insights

The bookmakers aren’t entirely convinced by either team, but they lean slightly toward Varbergs. Here’s the breakdown:

• Varbergs BoIS win: 2.22


• Draw: 3.4


• Helsingborg win: 3.0

NerdyTips’ AI crunched the numbers and recommends the 1X (home win or draw) as the best bet, with a trust level of 7.2/10 and odds of 1.37. It also predicts a home win as the most likely outcome in the 1x2 market (confidence: 6.2, odds: 2.22). For those eyeing goals, the AI suggests over 1.5 goals (confidence: 5.8, odds: 1.29), projecting a 2-1 final score and a 1-0 halftime lead for Varbergs.

Squad Values and Superettan Trends

Helsingborg’s squad is marginally more valuable (€4.65m vs. Varbergs’ €4.20m), but money doesn’t always talk on the pitch. Superettan stats reveal:

1. Home teams win 38.5% of matches, away teams just 26.1%.


2. Draws happen 35.4% of the time.


3. Both teams score in 49.8% of games.


4. Over 1.5 goals land in 68.2% of fixtures.

These trends hint at a tight game, but Varbergs’ home advantage could be decisive.

Final Betting Tips and Predictions

Given the head-to-head history and current form, this won’t be a walk in the park for either side. But here’s the playbook:

• Best bet: 1X (home win or draw) at 1.37 odds.


• Value pick: Varbergs to win at 2.22.


• Goal markets: Over 1.5 goals is the safer choice.

So, will Varbergs BoIS exact revenge, or will Helsingborg spoil the party? The stats—and the AI—side with the hosts. But as any football fan knows, the beautiful game loves a plot twist.
