This campaign has been a rollercoaster for these squads so far, loss and gain leading to mid-table spots so far. Gear up for Kalmar - Elfsborg!
- Kalmar haven’t played a single 0-0 game.
- Elfsborg haven’t played a single 0-0 game away.
13 - 5 - 4 with 49-22. What does this mean? Well, these are the statistics for Elfsborg when playing on grass like they will do today. Wins - draws- losses and goals scored-conceded. Elfsborg play their home games on artifical turf so that's why we provide these numbers.
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Europa Conference League. That game was also an away game, at Molde. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
