Insights:

  • Nordvärmland have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

Vänersborgs have less rest than Nordvärmland in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Division 2: Norra Gotaland game only three days ago. This match was also played here at Vänersvallen Stadion. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, Nordvärmland have had more rest.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Nordvärmland have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artifical turf is 6-4-0 (win-draw-loss) from ten matches.
