Venue: Jämtkraft Arena (8466 seats)

An important duel in the bottom section of the Allsvenskan, with both Östersunds FK and Varberg BoIS experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 11th and the visitors in 12th place.

This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!

This stadium uses artifical turf, unlike Varberg BoIS's home stadium. The visitors last twelve games on artifical turf have ended in 3 wins, 4 draws and 5 losses.

Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 800 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.

Östersunds can neither be promoted or relegated from Allsvenskan. Varberg are struggling to avoid relegation.
