Struggling Sandviks will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying IFK Östersund in the upcoming league round. It’s 11th vs 3rd and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.

Sandviks and IFK Östersund 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 IFK Östersund have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 9-4-6 (win-draw-loss) from 19 matches.
