Dreams of Europe for Kalmar
With a third of the season played, Kalmar head into this encounter with promoted Varnamo knowing that a four-point gap separates them from the top-three, a gap they need to close soon if they are to stay in the mixer for European qualification. Luckily, they have been solid at home of late, keeping clean sheets in victory in three of their last four home games.

On the other hand, Varnamo head into this clash on the back of consecutive victories for the first time this season, though the value of that is questionable given that the away win in sequence was against rock-bottom Helsingborgs. As such, they could struggle in this away trip as they did in all but the most recent (D1, L3).

The majority of both sides’ league games this term produced under 2.5 total goals, and that is a similar story to what we expect to see here. We predict that Kalmar can justify favouritism with a home win at a short, yet fair price. For smaller stakes, we are going for a narrow 1-0 home win.

卡尔马的欧洲梦
在本赛季已经打了三分之一的情况下，卡尔马与升班马瓦尔纳莫相遇，他们知道四分的差距将使他们与前三名的差距拉开，如果他们想要继续留在欧战资格的争夺中，他们需要尽快缩小这一差距。幸运的是，他们最近在主场表现稳定，在过去的四场主场比赛中有三场没有失球。

另一方面，瓦尔纳莫是在本赛季第一次连胜的基础上进入这场比赛的，尽管考虑到客场连续取胜的对手是垫底的赫尔辛堡，这一胜利的价值值得怀疑。因此，除了最近的一次(D1, L3)，他们在这次客场比赛中可能会遇到困难。

本赛季双方联赛的大多数比赛总进球数都在2.5个以下，这与我们在这里看到的情况类似。我们预测卡尔马可以证明偏心与主场赢在一个短，但公平的价格。对于较小的赌注，我们将在主场1-0险胜。
