The season is still fairly new and the Allsvenskan table has to be read with caution. So far Djurgården find themselves in 13th position and Kalmar are placed 2nd.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
It should be mentioned that Kalmar play their home matches on grass, so they have to adjust for this one as it's played on artifical turf. Does it matter? Recent statistics for Kalmar on artifical turf are 4 victories, 3 draws and 11 defeats from 18 games. In these matches they have a goal statistics scored/conceded: 17-30. You can compare this with overall results below.
Djurgården form and stats
Djurgården's first Allsvenskan home game here at Tele2 Arena ended in defeat. Last season their home statistics were 10 wins, 3 draws and 2 defeats from 15 matches.
The fans are hoping that Djurgården will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-3 away loss in the Allsvenskan game against Norrköping (placed 1st). Before that game, the home loss against Örebro with the scoreline 1-2.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent.
