Kalmar have 24 and 18 so far in the Allsvenskan. Are we looking at a home win?
- Degerfors have conceded at least twice as many goals as they have scored away.
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!
Kalmar form and stats
3 victories, 3 draws and 3 defeats. That’s what Kalmar have to build on here at Guldfågeln Arena in the Allsvenskan.
Kalmar's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-3 versus Elfsborg (placed 4th). Rasmus Sjostedt was "man of the match" with a rating of 7.03 out of 10. The defender Sjostedt won 4 of 8 duels.
In the game before, an away victory match versus Östersunds FK with a 1-0 scoreline.The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Kalmar have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found eight games) they have won two times, drawn four and lost two.
Kalmar have scored 7 league goals here from 9 matches, not a lot. On the other hand, Kalmar have conceded 9 goals.
Degerfors form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Degerfors so far with only 5 points returning home. The records show 1-2-6 (win-draw-lose). Bitter travels for Degerfors as they have lost four games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Halmstad match.
Degerfors have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 225 minutes ago. V. Edvardsen was the goal scorer.
Degerfors's previous game was their home loss versus Mjallby (0-2). Midfielder Adam Carlen was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 7.4. Carlen had 50 successful passes (of 57 total).
A 0-3 defeat away at Malmö FF before that.Degerfors are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is one win, five draws and four defeats. From a total of ten matches.
The attacking power of Degerfors when travelling is not overwhelming with 5 goals scored from 9 league matches away. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. The Degerfors manager A. Holmberg has some worries about the defense as 19 goals have been conceded in these travels.
Head 2 Head
The last H2H encounter ended Degerfors - Kalmar 0-1, earlier this season. Head to head statistics (for the previous two meetings): Kalmar won two games, zero matches ended with a draw and Degerfors have zero wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: one / oneTop Goalscorers
