Kalmar and Sirius have both played out a "par" performance so far this season, to use a golf term. Both teams occupy mid-table places in the Allsvenskan.
- Kalmar have scored at least twice as many goals as they have conceded at home.
- Sirius have won significantly less corners away then at home.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
Kalmar form and stats
Kalmar are steadily winning Allsvenskan games and points here at Guldfågeln Arena. 4 wins, 0 draws and 2 defeats is the summary from 6 games. There’s a good atmosphere here at Guldfågeln Arena after three straight home wins.
Kalmar travelled for their previous game, a trip to Helsingborg that ended 1-1. The talented striker Skrabb outperformed all the other footballers in that game and received a match rating of 7.43 out of 10. Skrabb served one assist, hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.
Before that, Kalmar had a home game versus Varnamo which ended with a victory 1-0.The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Kalmar's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played 8 games, won 5 matches, drawn 1 and lost 2.
The Kalmar fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 7 in 6 matches. From these home matches, Kalmar have conceded only 3 goals.
Sirius form and stats
The visitors are W2-D2-L3 on the road this term. That's in the Allsvenskan.
Two travels in a row for Sirius, whose coach Bäckström could celebrate last time after the win against Norrköping. Those three points felt nice as this team had gone three league matches without winning. Sugita came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against Norrköping last time out, making the manager Bäckström feel like a tactical genius. Goalkeeper Nilsson got the top player rating of the team with 7.85/10. Nilsson topped it up with a clean sheet.
Preceding that, the 1-2 home loss versus IFK Göteborg.As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Sirius playing away, we found 6 games. Results were 2 away wins, 1 draw and 3 home wins.
The visiting Sirius have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 8 goals from 7 games. Sirius's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 13 goals from these trips.
