Kalmar hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 18 points and a 15th position in the Allsvenskan table. Visiting Varberg BoIS holds 10th place with 26 pts.
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
Kalmar form and stats
Kalmar's struggle is real here at Guldfågeln Arena with only 6 points collected from 10 Allsvenskan games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-3-6. Kalmar are slowly digging their own grave here at Guldfågeln Arena with the depressing streak of not having won a home league game in nine attempts. The last victory here came in the Helsingborg match.
Kalmar enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at IFK Göteborg's place. The match ended 2-1 with Isak Magnusson scoring. Before that game, the home loss against Norrköping with the scoreline 0-2.
The home team are moderate favourites in this game. How does Kalmar handle that role? We have found six games in our database similar to this one, based on the home odds. The stats for these games are zero wins, three draws and three defeats.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Kalmar as they are travelling to their away game against Asarum in the Svenska Cupen. That match is three days after this one.
Kalmar are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 10 goals in 10 games. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 17 goals have been conceded.
Varberg BoIS form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Varberg BoIS so far with only 9 points returning home. The records show 2-3-5 (win-draw-lose).
Home advantage was not enough for Varberg in their previous game, as they lost their Allsvenskan-match, hosting Helsingborg, 1-3. Prior to that match, the Varberg manager J. Persson faced defeat when travelling to Falkenberg and losing 0-2.
Varberg are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is one win, one draw and two defeats. From a total of four matches.
The schedule is very tough for Varberg BoIS now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Svenska Cupen game at Oskarshamns AIK is waiting in only two days.
The travelling fans enjoy Varberg's attacking play in away games, having scored 15 goals in 10 league matches away. Varberg's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 18 goals from these trips.
