Falkenberg vs Östersunds FK: Soccer betting preview

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

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 (artificial turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 9-8-6 (win-draw-loss) from 23 matches. Östersunds FK have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 800 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
