Allsvenskan prediction and preview: Djurgården modest favorites to beat Kalmar

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artificial turf and that the visiting Kalmar have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artificial turf is 4-5-10 (win-draw-loss) from 19 matches.

Djurgården form and stats

The story so far for Djurgården at their home stadium (Tele2 Arena) is 3 wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat. With a nice streak brewing from their home games, Djurgården are also looking for their fifth consecutive victory regardless of location. Djurgården has recorded two wins in a row here at Tele2 Arena, increasing their hopes of victory in this match.

Happy days for Djurgården in their previous game, a Allsvenskan match away at Sirius that ended with a 2-0 victory. Before that game, the 3-1 home victory against Östersunds FK.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Djurgården's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played five games, won 2 matches, drawn 3 and lost 0.

A decent goal production from Djurgården in their home games so far, with 10 goals from 6 matches. On the other hand, Djurgården have conceded 7 goals.

Kalmar form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Kalmar so far with only 6 points returning home. The records show 1-3-2 (win-draw-lose).

It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Falkenberg in their previous outing. The Allsvenskan match ended in a draw 0-0. A 1-1 draw was the result before that, hosting Elfsborg.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day.
