Norrköping are hunting the top league places while AIK are more concerned with avoiding relegation. Who wins the prize?
- Norrköping haven’t played a single 0-0 game.
This football pitch has artifical turf, which is not AIK's everyday surface at their own field. When appearing on artifical turf AIK have performed like this: Played twelve matches resulting in 5 wins, 2 draws and 5 defeats with the goal production 25-20 (scored/conceded).
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.
