Linköping City form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Linköping City so far with only 7 points returning home. The records show 2-1-8 (win-draw-lose). With two straight losses from their last two away games, Linköping are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.
Linköping had fun at their own home (Finnvedsvallen) last time out, beating Lindome 2-1. Preceding that game, the 3-4 loss visiting Skövde AIK's place.
A quick return to home after this game, as Linköping City are hosting Tvååker in the Ettan: South only four days away.
Linköping are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 19 times in 11 away games so far. The Linköping City manager K. Neshati has some worries about the defense as 24 goals have been conceded in these travels.
