Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting AIK have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artifical turf is 8-4-3 (win-draw-loss) from 15 matches.

For AIK most of the excitement is over as they will neither be promoted or relegated this season.
