The current season for Kalmar is the worst in recent years. A few years ago there was a period when twice in a row the club from the city of the same name participated in the play-offs for the right to stay in the Allsvenskan. Both times Kalmar was successful in the challenge, after which the club never finished lower than sixth place from 2021 to 2023. Now it looks as if Kalmar will change their football home for the first time in two decades. At least for the next match the team will be "inhabitant" of the deepest bottom of the standings of the Swedish championship. GAIS has only this season appeared in the elite of national football. The club from Gothenburg immediately established itself as a strong and uncompromising fighter. So far GAIS has in the statistics only two draws, which occurred in meetings with the same club - Hammarby. Bookmakers have identified the home team as favourites for the upcoming encounter, offering odds of 1.67 on their victory.

GAIS is one of the most consistent Allsvenskan teams. Surprisingly, the club, currently ranked sixth, has never won three times in a row this season and only once lost two times in a row. In other words, GAIS systematically alternate wins and losses, at times, regardless of the name of the opponents. On the other hand, in the home arena in Gothenburg, the team has won the absolute majority of matches, losing only in the first and seventeenth rounds. In the last match Allsvenskan GAIS as an underdog visiting Hammarby in the capital, where they gave the opponent a territorial advantage, but hit the goalpost twice more than him (0:0).

Kalmar from the first rounds showed readiness for the future transition to a new division - Superettan. The team lost five of their opening six games, and then only briefly got out of the relegation zone. Between 27 July and 17 August, Kalmar lost four in a row and hosted the champion in the last round. The predictions were obvious, but Malmö devoted a lot of energy and attention to preparing for the Champions League qualification match, so they almost lost - 2:2. GAIS have nothing to be distracted by, the team is ready much better than the opponent. Let's bet on the victory of the hosts.
