Competition: Sweden Division 1: North
Date: Sun 20.October
Match begins: 15:00 (UTC)
Venue: Spanga IP (300 seats)

Akropolis perform at a high level so far being 1st in the table. Vasalund can look both up and down from their 7th position.

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.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Vasalund have a different surface at their stadium (artificial turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 13-5-9 (win-draw-loss) from 27 matches.

Akropolis are already the Division 1: North winners and can relax with the season objective secured. If they do relax it might give the away team a slightly better chance in this one. For Vasalund most of the excitement is over as they will neither be promoted or relegated this season.
