The records show 1-1-11 (win-draw-lose). four defeats in a row for AFC Eskilstuna in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Östersunds FK.

Two away games in a row for AFC Eskilstuna, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 0-4 versus Norrköping in the Allsvenskan. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Helsingborg wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.
