Kalmar Win or Draw
Kalmar and Elfsborg have the exact same record in the last six rounds which makes this match a big contender to end in a draw. Meanwhile, Kalmar have won four games at home this erm while Elfsborg lost three of their seven away fixtures in the league.
Under 3 Goals
Six of the last eight meetings between Kalmar and Elfsborg produced three or fewer goals. During the last six league rounds, Kalmar’s games also saw the same number of goals while three of Elfsborg’s last four away games ended with under three goals.
Score During the Match 1-0
Since the start of the 2022 Allsvenskan campaign, Kalmar took the lead first in four of their seven home games. On the contrary, Elfsborg conceded first in four of their seven away games. Overall, 12 times the score of 1-0 appeared in both teams’ matches this season.
Kalmar are coming into this match after a 1-0 away defeat to AIK. That loss ended the Red Brothers’ five-match unbeaten run during which they won two and drew three. Checking Kalmar’s last eight outings we see that they have slightly lowered their scoring average from 1.14 to 1.00.
Despite the fact that Kalmar are not a high-scoring team but coach Henryk Rydstrom will be happy with his defense who is ranked third in the league. Notably, the Red Brothers have four clean sheets at home and have conceded two goals in a game just once at the Guldfågeln Arena.
With a 3-0 away victory, Elfsborg travel to Kalmar knowing that a win here could see them take their opponent’s position at sixth. However, to do that, the Yellow ones need to improve their away record of winning just once across seven trips, losing three and drawing three of the other six.
Moreover, coach Jimmy Thelin will be aware that his team has weakened in both ends of the field in their last eight outings. To illustrate, Elfsborg scored 1.5 goals as opposed to their season average of 1.86 and conceded 1.5 goals which is 17% higher than their season average of 1.29.
The level and form of both teams are very similar as just one point separates them in favor of Kalmar. Considering all stats and recent performances, we find it best to choose a double chance of a home win or draw as our primary prediction for this match.
