With their 16 point advantage in the league table, Sirius fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against Kalmar.
There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Allsvenskan match only three days ago. This match was also played here at Studenternas IP. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, Kalmar have had more rest.
The season is still full of potential for Sirius as they can still win the whole Allsvenskan. Kalmar are fighting to avoid relegation and will work hard for points.

Sirius, who have the most conceded goals (23) at home in Allsvenskan, have played 12 Allsvenskan games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 5-4-3 (wins-draws-losses).
Sirius are anxiously hoping for a goal as it's been 181 minutes since the last one in league fixtures. (Scored by K. Larson).
The home supporters saw a 0-0 draw versus AIK in the Allsvenskan last time out and are looking for a win here. Prior to that, an away loss at Djurgården.
The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Sirius matches with similar probabilities have ended with one win, zero draws and zero defeats (from one game).

Kalmar form and stats
There's been little loot from Kalmar's travels as they have only collected 12 points from 12 away games in the Allsvenskan. Kalmar, who have the most conceded goals (44) in Allsvenskan, only have 3 wins to counter their 6 defeats and 3 draws.
Kalmar played 0-0 against Falkenberg in their previous match. Preceding that game, the 1-3 loss visiting Elfsborg's place.
As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Kalmar playing away, we found three games. Results were one away win, one draw and one home win.
The visiting Kalmar have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 15 goals from 12 games. In the opposite end, Kalmar have conceded 22 goals in their away games.
