Competition: Sweden Allsvenskan
Competition: Sun 26.July
Match begins: 12:30 (UTC)
Venue: Falcon Alkoholfri Arena (5500 seats)

The visiting Norrköping side should be favourites in this visit to Falkenberg, as the away team holds a 16 point advantage from their ten league games this season.

It's no vacation for neither Falkenberg nor Norrköping 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.

This pitch has grass, which is not Norrköping's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on grass Norrköping have performed like this: Played 20 matches resulting in 9 wins, 5 draws and 6 defeats with the goal stats 30-23 (scored/conceded).

Falkenberg travelled for their previous game, a trip to IFK Göteborg that ended 2-2. In the match before that, Falkenberg hosted Helsingborg and drew the game 2-2.

Late drama in the game against IFK Göteborg as Falkenberg were trailing by a goal near the finishing line until Carl Johansson popped out and made it level in the 90th minute.

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Falkenberg here at Falcon Alkoholfri Arena in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (4 from 5 games). Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 8 goals have been conceded.
