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 Norrköping and Varberg BoIS.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Varberg BoIS have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artifical turf is 6-3-7 (win-draw-loss) from 16 matches.
