It's only the second fixture in the Allsvenskan for these teams. And there's points to play for here at Guldfågeln Arena as Kalmar welcome IFK Göteborg. Don't miss this preview!
This could be an exciting match with lots of action and energy as both teams are well renewed since they last played a game. Bring it on!
Kalmar form and stats
The previous season, Kalmar's league stats were 15 wins, 6 draws and 9 losses, producing 4th position in the Allsvenskan. Over these 30 matches they scored {41 goals} and gave away 27. Performing as the home side in the previous season Kalmar produced 10-2-3 (win-draw-lost) with {20 goals} and 7 conceded.
Kalmar faced defeat in their previous match, away at Malmö FF (0-1).
Before that result, a home victory against Helsingborg in the Svenska Cupen. 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 7 games) they have won 4 times, drawn 2 and lost 1.
IFK Göteborg form and stats
Let's have a look at how IFK Göteborg performed last season in the Allsvenskan: They landed a 8th position in the league table after playing out 14 victories, 3 draws and 13 defeats. In total they scored 42 and conceded {39 goals} in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 7 - drew 0 and lost 8 with 23/21 goals scored/conceded.
IFK Göteborg's previous game was their home loss versus Varnamo (0-1). Göteborg were so close to getting something from the game against Varnamo, but ended up with egg all over their face after conceding the deciding goal two minutes into overtime.
The fixture earlier was the Svenska Cupen-duel against Norrköping, a home loss (0-4). IFK Göteborg are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 3 wins, 3 draws and 3 defeats. From a total of 9 matches.
Head 2 Head
Kalmar have put together a sequence of 6 consecutive matches without defeat (4-2-0) when facing IFK Göteborg.Kalmar missing players
