Match preview

Halmstad host Kalmar FF in an Allsvenskan round 19 fixture with both teams seeking crucial points to improve their standing near the bottom of the table. Halmstad occupy 16th place with just eight points from 18 matches, having managed a single victory across the entire campaign (1W-5D-12L). Their attack has averaged only 0.7 goals per game both at home and overall, failing to score in eight matches this season.

Kalmar FF sit 13th in the table with 19 points from 18 matches. While they have struggled for victories on their travels (0W-2D-7L away in the league), they possess an attacking edge with C. Rosenquist scoring seven league goals and C. Sagoe supplying eight assists. Kalmar also enter this fixture following a 0-0 away draw at Vasteras SK FK and a comfortable cup win.

Head-to-head records strongly favour Kalmar FF, who have claimed six victories in the last nine encounters against Halmstad, including a 2-0 league win earlier in the 2026 season. With Halmstad missing R. Ascone and R. Kaib through yellow card suspensions and struggling for offensive output, Kalmar hold a solid opportunity to come away with at least a point.

Key factors

  • Halmstad have recorded just one victory in 18 league matches this season (1W-5D-12L).
  • Kalmar FF have won six of the previous nine head-to-head meetings, including a 2-0 victory in May 2026.
  • Halmstad have averaged just 0.7 goals scored per game across the campaign and have failed to score in eight league fixtures.
  • Halmstad will be without R. Ascone and R. Kaib due to card suspensions.

Halmstad have won only once in 18 league matches this season and are burdened by suspensions to R. Ascone and R. Kaib.
