It's game two of the Allsvenskan season and everything to play for. Read our full preview of Falkenberg-Kalmar!
It's no vacation for neither Falkenberg nor Kalmar 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.
Falkenberg form and stats
A Allsvenskan draw at home so far for Falkenberg. Last season their home statistics were 5 wins, 4 draws and 6 defeats from 15 matches.
Falkenberg enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Mjällby's place. The match ended 1-0 with John Bjorkengren scoring. Preceding that game was the home draw versus Häcken that ended 1-1.
At Falcon Alkoholfri Arena, Falkenberg has the goal stats of 1-1 (for/against) from 1 league fixture.
Kalmar form and stats
The visitors' first away game in the Allsvenskan ended in defeat. Last season Kalmar had these away match statistics: Played 15; won 3, drew 3 and lost 9.
Isak Magnusson, Sebastian Ring and Nils Fröling (2) scored in Kalmar's previous match, the home game against Helsingborg that ended 4-0. A 1-2 defeat away at Norrköping before that.
As mentioned above, Kalmar was the only team on the pitch versus Helsingborg in their previous game, winning 4-0. This could be a tougher task.
It's early days yet, but Kalmar has scored 1 and conceded 2 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last eight meetings between these two teams are: one win for Falkenberg, one draw and six wins for Kalmar. Over 2,5 goals: seven times; under 2,5 goals: one game.Top Goalscorers
