- IFK Göteborg have not yet lost a game away.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Kalmar form and stats
OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Kalmar's two home games in the Allsvenskan so far this season, having collected 4 points here at Guldfågeln Arena.
1-1 away at Sirius before that.
There was plenty of action in the dying minutes of the game against Elfsborg as Oliver Berg's goal in the 88th minute completed a cancellation of 0-2 and secured a draw after 90 minutes.
This is expected to be a close game, with Kalmar perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Kalmar as a small favourite), we find three games. Kalmar has won zero of these, drawn three and lost zero.
Early season league goal statistics from Kalmar's 2 home games: 1 goal, 0 conceded.
