Kalmar vs Sirius Prediction & Match Preview

• Sirius bagged eleven goals in the last three wins, including friendlies against Gefle and Brage.
• Kalmar go into this off the back of a 1-3 loss at Hammarby on the opening day of the season.
• Danish striker Yousef Salech was on target Sirius’ 3-0 thumping of Halmstad last Monday.

Kalmar will be looking to bounce back from a disappointing 1-3 defeat at the hands of Hammarby on the opening day of the 2024 Allsvenskan campaign. The team led by Danish manager Henrik Jensen allowed too many open looks to their rivals in the first round of the season. Will they perform better on Monday evening in the Gameweek No 2 tie against Sirius?

Jensen has a lot of reasons to be worried about his team’s recent defensive showings. Kalmar had also conceded four goals to lower-division side Osters in their final pre-season exhibition two weeks ago. If we count the Svenska Cupen group stage games, Kalmar are winless in four consecutive matches.

Sirius will come into this in much higher spirits. They opened the season with a demolishing 3-0 victory over Halmstad. Noel Mileskog produced a stunning display with a goal and an assist, while Danish forward Yousef Salech also added his name to the scoresheet seven days ago.

• Kalmar are winless in four consecutive encounters with Sirius.
• Sirius picked up a 3-0 victory in the previous head-to-head match in August last year at Studenternas IP.
• Kalmar have a strong home record in this matchup. They won four, drew three, and lost one of the last eight home clashes with Sirius.

Kalmar vs Sirius Prediction

Looking at the odds and the form, the value has to be with Sirius here. The visitors got off to a splendid start to the new season with a 3-0 drubbing of Halmstad last Monday. They produced a fantastic effort on both ends of the pitch, limiting the counterparts to just a single attempt on target in the 90 minutes of action on the occasion. Sirius are unbeaten in the last six matches in all competitions, including three Svenska Cupen group stage affairs more than a month ago. Kalmar are not pulling up any trees these days. They lost three and drew one of the last four outings across competitions. We will back Sirius to win or draw double chance pick at the 1.53 odds.

The value pick would be Yousef Salech to score anytime for the visitors at the sky-high 3.40 odds. Salech got off to a fine start to the season by finding the back of the net in a home win over Halmstad seven days ago. He should have a lot of room past Kalmar’s leaky back line. Kalmar allowed seven goals in the last two losses to Osters and Hammarby.
