Offensively they are averaging 1.50 goals per game, with 0.80 conceded. Defensively, conceding just 0.80 per game is an exceptional defensive record — one of the tightest in the division. 4 clean sheets in 10 games (40%) reflects a solid defensive base.

Their scoring rate of 1.40 per game is modest, conceding 1.30 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 3 clean sheets from 10 outings suggests some defensive organisation. Kalmar FF haven't played a Superettan game yet this season, so this record is entirely from last season.

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Vasteras SK FK 0.97 xG and Kalmar FF 1.60 xG. These expected goals figures are the primary input: they feed a goal-probability matrix across all scoreline combinations to derive the result and market probabilities below. Underlying strength ratings: Vasteras SK FK attack 0.807 / defence 0.947 | Kalmar FF attack 1.325 / defence 0.945. League average goals — home 1.267 / away 1.271.

Result probabilities: Vasteras SK FK 23% | Draw 25% | Kalmar FF 52%. Fair-value odds: Vasteras SK FK 4.35 | Draw 4.00 | Kalmar FF 1.92. Kalmar FF hold a narrow Poisson edge at 52% — the draw (25%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 47% | BTTS probability 49% | Total xG 2.56. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 47%/53% — the total xG of 2.56 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS probability of 49% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.
