On Tuesday Apr 26th, Kalmar will play host to Norrköping in a meeting of these two mismatched Allsvenskan teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 10 degrees, which will be a great treat for players. Kalmar is fresh off their 0-1 loss against GIF Sundsvall. Engblom struck first for GIF Sundsvall in the 90th minute on a feed from Dennis Olsson, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring At the end of 90 a dissapointed Kalmar couldn’t manage to score, and GIF Sundsvall took the shutout win. Kalmar is looking for direction having 2 win and 2 losses in their last 10 matches, while norrköping is fresh off their 1-1 draw against Häcken. Even Hovland scored the first goal for Häcken in the 23rd minute, then Jacob Ortmark tied it up for Norrköping in the 35th minute earning Norrköping at least a draw. Norrköping looks to improve on their recent performance, having lost 3 of their last 10.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season. Last season Kalmar won the head to head battle with 2 wins.
Norrköping is having problems scoring lately. Their top scorers, Christoffer Nyman and Jonathan Levi each only have 1 goal in their last 5. Kalmar’s most prolific scorer has been Oliver Berg. The Norwegian midfielder has netted 2 goals over the last five matches.
