It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Hammarby and Falkenberg.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artificial turf and that the visiting Falkenberg have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artificial turf is 4-2-8 (win-draw-loss) from 14 matches.
