This match features two teams living in the basement of the Allsvenskan, Falkenberg holding 14th place and Östersunds FK lying 15th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Östersunds FK 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 6-8-6 (win-draw-loss) from 20 matches.
It's time to recharge all electronic entertainment devices for Östersunds FK, who are travelling more than 800 kilometers to play this game.
