Approaching the top clubs is the target when these mid-table clubs duel. Both are aiming to improve their league status, Kalmar in 7th and Hammarby in 6th spot.
- Kalmar have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Hammarby have conceded at least twice as many goals as they have scored away.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Hammarby 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 10-7-8 (win-draw-loss) from 25 matches.
Both squads have had a decent time to rest since their previous competitive action. Let's aim for an active match!
