Falkenberg form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Falkenberg so far with only 9 points returning home. The records show 2-3-8 (win-draw-lose).

Falkenberg play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 2-3 to Värnamo (placed 1st). A huge disappointment for Falkenberg in their last match (vs Värnamo). Leading 2-0 the victory seemed almost certain, but a fascinating collapse turned everything around and in the end all was lost in a 2-3 defeat. Falkenberg were so close to getting something from the game against Värnamo, but ended up with egg all over their face after conceding the deciding goal five minutes into overtime.

Preceding that, the 1-4 home loss versus Helsingborg.
