The Division 1: North league table might not tell the truth so early on, but it's the best truth we have so far. These two teams are placed 10th and 1st respectively.
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 Sandviken 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 14-4-7 (win-draw-loss) from 25 matches.
