Date: Sat 18.May
Match begins: 12:00 (UTC)
Venue: Spånga IP (4000 seats)

A home win is expected from this fixture if the league table is anything to judge by. The home fans are optimistic that the difference between 5th and 16th place in the table will show on the pitch.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

This pitch has grass, which is not Boden's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on grass Boden have performed like this: Played 25 matches resulting in 9 wins, 5 draws and 11 defeats with the goal stats 39-40 (scored/conceded). Boden have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 900 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
