Competition: Sweden Division 1: North
Date: Sat 18.May
Match begins: 14:00 (UTC)
Venue: Trängens IP (4700 seats)

An important duel in the bottom section of the league table, with both teams experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic “six-pointer” with the home team placed 14th and the visitors in 12th place.

Vasalund could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Division 1: North game only three sleeps ago. That game, against Umeå, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Vasalund.

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 12-5-9 (win-draw-loss) from 26 matches.
