Pen Rate

Normal

Referee F. Klitte has officiated 5 Allsvenskan games this season and is noted for an average strictness. While specific card averages are not available for this referee, the league average for cards per match stands at 3.79. Given BK Hacken's tendency to pick up more yellow cards (2.46 per game on a recent-form basis) compared to IF Elfsborg (1.87 per game), Klitte's average strictness means their disciplinary record could still be a factor, particularly if the game becomes as competitive as expected.
