Competition: Sweden Allsvenskan
Competition: Sun 08.November
Match begins: 13:30 (UTC)
Venue: Påskbergsvallen (4500 seats)

Season ticket holders at Påskbergsvallen haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Varberg BoIS languishing in the 12th position so far. The guesting Hammarby will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.

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.

This stadium uses grass, unlike Hammarby's home stadium. The visitors last 24 games on grass have ended in 8 wins, 5 draws and 11 losses.

Relegation threatens Varberg who should definitely be looking for some points here. Hammarby are still fighting for top positions and their benefits.
