One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Novara 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 12-10-13 (win-draw-loss) from 35 matches.

Renate and Novara should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
