Struggling Kalmar will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Djurgården in the upcoming league round. It’s 14th vs 4th and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.

It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Svenska Cupen. That game was also an away game, at Sollentuna. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Djurgården have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 16-1-7 (win-draw-loss) from 24 matches.

Relegation threatens Kalmar who should definitely be looking for some points here. Djurgården are still fighting for the big positions at the top of the table.
