The AFC Eskilstuna manager Ö. Melkemichel attacks this game with the team placed 16th so far. In the visitors dressing room Brage and their manager K. Saarenpää are in 6th place before this match.
Brage could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Superettan game only four sleeps ago. That game, against Ljungskile, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Brage.
AFC Eskilstuna's stadium, Tunavallen, has a artifical turf surface. Brage have grass on their own stadium. This might or might not make a difference, and to help evaluate that we give you the recent performance numbers for Brage when playing on artifical turf; 7 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss from twelve matches. They have scored 26 goals in these games and conceded 11.
