The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Mjällby are in the 9th position while the guesting Kalmar worry at 15th.
It's no vacation for neither Mjällby nor Kalmar 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.
Mjällby form and stats
2 victories, 0 draws and 2 defeats. That’s what Mjällby have to build on here at Strandvallen in the Allsvenskan. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Mjällby to get some points in this home game.
The Mjällby fans got no joy from their last match, a Allsvenskan game also here at Strandvallen: A 0-5 defeat against Elfsborg (placed 3rd). A defeat was the result before that one, 1-3 away at Örebro.
Mjällby were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one. Mjällby's goalkeeper Carljohan Eriksson was extremely busy against Elfsborg, saving the team from a uglier defeat with a stunning six saves.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Mjällby have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found six games) they have won three times, drawn one and lost two.
Mjällby has scored 5 league goals at home this season, in 4 matches. Mjällby have conceded 8 goals in these home games, a significant number.
Kalmar form and stats
1-0-4 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Kalmar, who have the most conceded goals (17) in Allsvenskan, in their Allsvenskan matches away. The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on N. Bergstrand, the Kalmar manager, as the last three away games were defeats.
Kalmar's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Sirius that finished 1-1. Preceding that game, the 1-2 loss visiting Malmö FF's place.
Kalmar are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is zero wins, zero draws and seven defeats. From a total of seven matches.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Kalmar as they have only managed to score 4 times from 5 away games in the league. The Kalmar manager N. Bergstrand has some worries about the defense as 10 goals have been conceded in these travels.
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: three - one - six (Mjällby wins - draws - Kalmar wins). As for goals, four matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), six had two or less.Top Goalscorers
