13-6-9 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Elfsborg when playing away games on grass, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has artifical turf). Their goal statistics from those 28 matches are 46-43 (scored/conceded).
Malmö FF form and stats
Overall Allsvenskan stats at home this season for Malmö FF, who have the most scored goals (14) in Allsvenskan, are 3-1-0 (wins-draw-losses). Hopes of three in a row are alive for Malmö FF after consecutive victories at their own ground.
Malmö FF's previous game was a Allsvenskan match also played at home, ending 3-1 versus Kalmar (placed 7th). The home side are looking to build on that result. Attacking player Antonio Čolak bested all teammates in that game and got a match rating of 9.15 out of 10. Čolak scored two goals, served one assist, hit one key pass and dribled passed the opponent 1 of 2 times.
A 1-1 draw away before that, with AIK the opponent.The manager J. Dahl Tomasson will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Örebro in only four days.
Malmö are showing their attacking force in their league home games this season, scoring more than 2,5 goals per game on average (10 goals in 4 games). With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Malmö defense is not exactly impregnable. 6 goals conceded from 4 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
Elfsborg form and stats
It's gone fairly well in the Allsvenskan away games so far for Elfsborg, who have the the best goal difference (+3) away in Allsvenskan, with six points collected from three matches.
Home advantage was not enough for Elfsborg in their previous game, as they lost their Allsvenskan-match, hosting Halmstad, 2-3. The attacker Per Frick got a match rating of 7.42 in that game. Frick scored one goal. A huge disappointment for Elfsborg in their last match (vs Halmstad). Leading 2-0 the victory seemed almost certain, but a fascinating collapse turned everything around and in the end all was lost in a 2-3 defeat.
Before that one, a nice away victory 2-0 at Sirius.The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Norrköping in just four days.
Elfsborg are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 5 times in 3 away games so far. Elfsborg are defending well in their away games, having conceded only 2 times in 3 matches. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
