Struggling Forward will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Linköping City in the upcoming league round. It’s 14th vs 3rd and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.

Forward and Linköping City should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Linköping City 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 12-4-9 (win-draw-loss) from 25 matches.
