Kalmar form and stats

Kalmar are doing rather OK so far in their away games, having played 3 games and collected 5 points (1 win, 2 draws and 0 losses).

The supporters enjoyed Kalmar's previous game versus Helsingborg, a Allsvenskan 1-0 win played at home. Ahead of that game was the 1-1 draw at home against Östersunds FK.

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. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Kalmar playing away, we found one game. Results were 0 away wins, 1 draw and 0 home wins.

The schedule is very tough for Kalmar now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Allsvenskan game at Malmö FF is waiting in only four days.
