The visiting Norrköping side should be favourites in this visit to Kalmar, as the away team holds a 13 point advantage from their 18 league games this season.
Kalmar and Norrköping should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
Kalmar's stadium, Guldfågeln Arena, has a grass surface. Norrköping have artifical turf on their own stadium. This might or might not make a difference, and to help evaluate that we give you the recent performance numbers for Norrköping when playing on grass; 9 wins, 5 draws and 8 losses from 22 matches. They have scored 34 goals in these games and conceded 29.
Kalmar form and stats
Kalmar's results here at Guldfågeln Arena in the Allsvenskan have been very modest with 1 victory, 3 draws and 5 defeats. With eight home Allsvenskan games in a row without a win, the Kalmar fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Helsingborg game long ago, can be stopped today.
Kalmar shared the glory with Helsingborg in their last match, an away game that ended all square 1-1. 3-3 away at Hammarby before that.
Edvin Crona was able to secure the draw 1-1 in the game against Helsingborg after coming on as a substitute and scoring the final goal. In the starting lineup today?
The Kalmar fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 10 in 9 matches. Kalmar have conceded 15 from these games.
Norrköping form and stats
3-2-4 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Norrköping, who have the most scored goals (38) in Allsvenskan, in their Allsvenskan matches away.
Two away games in a row for Norrköping, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 3-4 versus Örebro in the Allsvenskan. A loss against Häcken was the result prior to that, in a home game.
A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Norrköping, as mentioned above. 7 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun? Late heartbreak for Norrköping in the Örebro match, as the deciding 3-4 goal came deep into overtime.
Today's guests are confident travelers having scored 23 goals in 9 league games away this season. The Norrköping manager J. Gustafsson has some worries about the defense as 21 goals have been conceded in these travels.
Head 2 Head
The most recent history between these sides is the Norrköping - Kalmar 2-1 played earlier this season. Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: zero wins for Kalmar, three draws and seven wins for Norrköping. Over 2,5 goals: five times; under 2,5 goals: five games.Top Goalscorers
