AFC Eskilstuna form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for AFC Eskilstuna so far with only 4 Allsvenskan points returning home. The records show 1-1-8 (win-draw-lose). Three has not been a lucky number for AFC Eskilstuna as they have been defeated three times in a row since the Carlstad United match.
