Kalmar return home after their latest game ended in a 0-1 defeat, the same result as the two matches before that. Their recent overall picture is of tight games where they simply cannot finish, failing to score for several matches in a row and sliding down to the bottom of the table. Häcken, meanwhile, have kept their distance from the top group with draws in their last two games, but they too have not won for a while. The home side's problem is clearly in attack: 21 goals from 21 matches is a very low figure, while at the back they have conceded 31. That contrasts with Häcken, who have scored 34 from the same number of games and have clearly dominated possession over the last ten matches. Häcken do have something to be caught out on, though, because their defence is not especially solid when they travel away. The pattern of the game should see Häcken with more of the ball, gradually squeezing a home side that sits deep. But Kalmar at home tend not to open up and trade blows, so there is a good chance the game ends tight with few goals. What to watch from kick-off is how well Kalmar cope with Häcken's sustained attacking spells early on. If they let the visitors pour forward from the start, the home side will find it even harder.
