The Allsvenskan season is still fresh and sports bettors should be cautious. This meeting between Kalmar and Östersunds FK promises to be an interesting one.
It's no vacation for neither Kalmar nor Östersunds FK as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Östersunds FK have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 5-9-7 (win-draw-loss) from 21 matches.
It's quite the trip for Östersunds FK when visiting Kalmar as the cities are 900 kilometers apart.
Kalmar form and stats
The hosts won their first Allsvenskan game here at Guldfågeln Arena, lifting spirits. Home statistics for Kalmar last season were 1 win, 8 draws and 6 losses from 15 games.
Kalmar faced defeat in their previous match, away at Djurgården (0-5). In the game before, an away victory match versus Falkenberg with a 2-0 scoreline.
Kalmar were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.
The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Kalmar matches with similar probabilities have ended with four wins, zero draws and three defeats (from seven games).
Kalmar has scored 4 goals so far and conceded 0 goals from 1 home game. These are numbers from the league only.
Östersunds FK form and stats
The Allsvenskan season is young and Östersunds FK have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 2 away games done and still no victory. 1 draw and 1 defeat so far.
Östersunds's previous game was their home loss versus Norrköping (2-4). Preceding that game, the 0-0 draw paying a visit to Örebro.
As you can tell from the result, the match against Norrköping was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today? Östersunds goalkeeper Aly Keita had a great day against Norrköping, but despite making eleven saves the loss could not be avoided.
Looking at the earlier recent performances of Östersunds when being an outsider away as they are today, we find two matches with the visitors losing one time, drawing one and winning zero games.
Östersunds FK have the goal stats of 0-2 (for/against) from 2 business trips in the league at this early stage of the season.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last nine meetings between these two teams are: three wins for Kalmar, two draws and four wins for Östersunds FK. Over 2,5 goals: four times; under 2,5 goals: five games.Top Goalscorers
