One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting BR Highlanders have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 3-5-10 (win-draw-loss) from 18 matches.

It's no vacation for neither Police nor BR Highlanders as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
