Falkenberg form and stats

As mentioned below, Falkenberg are feasting on a winning streak here so far with maximum points from their first 3 Ettan: South games. Falkenberg are on a three game winning streak in their home games.

The Falkenberg goalkeeper Tim Erlandsson is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 260 minutes without conceding a goal in the Ettan: South.

A strong away win for Falkenberg against Qviding FIF the last match, as Eliasson-Hofsö, Hintsa (2) and Nilsson were on target. As mentioned above, Falkenberg "killed" Qviding FIF in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.

Previous to that game, a home match hosting Oskarshamns AIK in a game that was won 1-0.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Falkenberg as they have a new game in only three days, a Ettan: South match thankfully also at home. GAIS are visiting.

Falkenberg has scored 4 league goals at home this season, in 3 matches. Falkenberg have showed great defending skills in these home games, allowing the opposition to score only 1 goal.

Olympic form and stats

The visitors are W4-D0-L0 on the road this term. That's in the Ettan: South. Long winning streaks away are a rare occurrence in football, which only makes Olympic's record of four away victories in a row even more impressive. They last lost points away in the Karlskrona game.

Olympic play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 3-0 victory visiting Oskarshamns AIK (placed 11th). Which player has bagged at least one goal four games in a row for the away side? The correct answer is Bohman and that is quite the feat!

Preceding that match was the 2-2 draw at home vs Torns.

A quick return to home after this game, as Olympic are hosting Ängelholm in the Ettan: South only four days away.

Olympic have scored more than twice on average per away game (in the league), an impressive attacking display. They have 10 goals from 4 away matches.
