Kristianstad form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Kristianstad so far with only 7 points returning home. The records show 2-1-5 (win-draw-lose).

Kristianstad go into this game after a win, the home game against Berga that ended 2-1.

A draw for Kristianstad before that, at their own venue hosting Karlskrona (1-1).
