Venue: Tunavallen (7800 seats)

The visiting Malmö FF side should be favourites in this visit to AFC Eskilstuna, as the away team holds a 38 point advantage from their 25 league games this season.

It's no vacation for neither AFC Eskilstuna nor Malmö FF as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

This stadium uses artificial turf, unlike Malmö FF's home stadium. The visitors last 16 games on artificial turf have ended in 6 wins, 5 draws and 5 losses.

AFC Eskilstuna form and stats

With 2 Allsvenskan wins, 5 draws and 5 defeats from their home games, AFC Eskilstuna, who have the most conceded goals (53) in Allsvenskan, are certainly not brimming with confidence.

The fans are hoping that AFC Eskilstuna will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-4 away loss in the Allsvenskan game against Norrköping (placed 5th). Prior to that, an away loss at Helsingborg.

Despite playing at their own arena the home team are massive underdogs in this game. The home fans will enjoy their drinks and snacks knowing that the chances of points are very slim. When AFC Eskilstuna have been in this position before, they have won 0, drawn 0 and lost 1 from one game. 1 defeat by at least two goals.

AFC Eskilstuna are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 14 goals in 12 attempts. AFC Eskilstuna have conceded 22 from these games.

Malmö FF form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team, who have the the best goal difference (+33) in Allsvenskan, on their Allsvenskan travels is 5 wins, 6 draws and 1 defeat. Malmö FF are enjoying a nice run from their away games now, having played eleven in a row without losing. The fact that Malmö FF have won four matches in a row should scare the hosts and makes this contest more interesting.

Malmö FF won their last game, 3-0 versus Helsingborg played at home. Preceding that game was the away victory against Elfsborg with the score of 3-0.

As mentioned earlier, Malmö FF will not be satisfied unless they get maximum points from this game. Performing as huge favourites away from home has earlier resulted in 4 wins (3 by two or more goals winning margin), 0 draws and 0 surprising defeats.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting København in just four days.

Malmö FF have scored 16 goals on their travels this season, from 12 away games in the league. It's not easy to score on Malmö FF as they have only conceded 7 goals from these away games.
