Örebro SK – Kalmar FF
Örebro SK were tipped by some for a place in the top 3 this season but things have not gone their way at all. After a successful domestic cup campaign, in which they reached the final, expectations were high going into the league season. It took until the 9th round though before they won their first league game and they looked at one point almost certain to be relegated. However, in recent weeks they have had a remarkable turnaround in form, winning four on the trot and are now 13th in the table, just above the relegation zone. The addition of former Charlton and Standard Liege player Astrit Ajdarevic has proven to be a really shrewd signing as he has chipped in with a goal and several assists already in his 5 starts for the club. For tonight’s game against Kalmar FF they also have midfielder Martin Broberg and striker Pär Ericsson back from slight knocks, with Broberg likely to go straight into the starting eleven.
Kalmar FF have found it hard to impress all season and were on a four game winless streak before they secured a 1-0 home win against bottom team Halmstad in the last round. They also have plenty of players out injured and defenders Nenad Djordjevic, Viktor Agardius, Marcus Nilsson and Emin Nouri as well as midfielder Jonathan Ring and striker David Elm are all out. On a positive note, former CSKA Moscow midfielder Rasmus Elm made his first start this season against Halmstad, but is still a long way from being back to his best.
Örebro are hard to beat at home on the artificial grass at Behrn Arena and are hopeful of claiming their fifth straight win tonight. Especially since Kalmar are not too comfortable on the surface.
