Norrköping and Kalmar have both delivered a "par" performance so far this season, to use a golf term. Both teams have mid-table spots in the Allsvenskan.
- Norrköping haven’t played a single 0-0 game.
- Kalmar have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.
3-1-6 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Kalmar when playing away games on artifical turf, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has grass). Their goal statistics from those ten matches are 20-24 (scored/conceded).
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.
