Farjestad's season has been disappointing, currently ninth with 59 points and struggling particularly on the road. Their away record of 8-13 tells the story of a team that cannot find consistency away from home, averaging just 2.1 goals per game on their travels. Recent form shows 2 wins in their last 5 games, including a heavy 5-0 defeat to Brynas in their most recent outing. The 14-day rest period provides equal recovery time, but their underlying statistics remain concerning. Defensively vulnerable with 110 goals conceded, they've particularly struggled against top-tier opposition. Their road scoring average of 2.1 goals per game represents a significant drop from their home output of 2.95, highlighting their travel difficulties in this demanding league environment.
