Västerås SK FK
- Västerås SK FK have been the better side in Allsvenskan 2026 (8th) and sit much higher in the standings than Kalmar FF (13th) with 25 points to their guests' 18.
- The hosts come into this matchup in mixed form after winning two, drawing one and losing two of their last five matches, but they did grab the key points in their most recent home game when they defeated Djurgården 1-0.
- Alexander Rubin has been at the helm of Västerås since 1 January 2026 and has tried to keep the game structured, building from the back, though there's an underlying aggression to the side that comes out when they get the ball back and will see them flood the flanks and push on when they have possession.
- Västerås SK FK have a good home record in Allsvenskan 2026 (W3, D3, L2) and score at an average of 1.88 goals per home game.
Kalmar FF
- Kalmar are in poor form after taking just one win, two draws and two defeats from their last five and they are also on a two-game losing streak.
- Toni Koskela has been in charge of the Smålands Stolthet since 1st January 2025 and he has overseen the building of a disciplined, defensive unit that has a solid base in a compact 4-4-2 system that looks to frustrate the opposition and control the space.
Head-to-Head
- There is a balance to the head-to-head record (W1, D1, L1) overall.
- Kalmar FF have failed to win either of their last 2 away head-to-heads.
