Kalmar hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 13 points and a 15th position in the Allsvenskan table. Visiting Mjällby holds 8th place with 20 pts.
Kalmar and Mjällby should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
Kalmar form and stats
With 1 Allsvenskan win, 3 draws and 4 defeats from their home games, Kalmar are certainly not brimming with confidence. Kalmar are slowly digging their own grave here at Guldfågeln Arena with the depressing streak of not having won a home league game in seven attempts. The last victory here came in the Helsingborg match.
Kalmar lost their last game at Östersunds FK (placed 9th) after a 0-2 scoreline. Before that, Kalmar drew at home versus IFK Göteborg.
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Kalmar have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found two matches with the results: Won one, drawn one and lost zero.
Kalmar has scored 9 league goals at home this season, in 8 matches. On the other hand, Kalmar have conceded 11 goals.
Mjällby form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Mjällby so far with only 8 points returning home. The records show 2-2-4 (win-draw-lose).
There were no winners in Mjällby's previous match, a Allsvenskan home game that ended 2-2 vs Malmö FF (placed 1st). A 1-2 defeat away at Djurgården before that.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Mjällby playing away and similar expectations, we found two relevant matches. Results were zero Mjällby wins, one draw and one defeat.
The visitors have scored 7 goals from 8 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. As opposed to that, Mjällby have seen the ball go into their own net 11 times on the road.
