Vasalund vs Nyköping match preview: Even contest expected at Skytteholms IP

Vasalund and Nyköping 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 artificial turf and that the visiting Nyköping have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artificial turf is 7-4-10 (win-draw-loss) from 21 matches.
