Insights:
  • Eskilstuna City have scored in all their home matches so far.
  • Motala have the fewest conceded goals (20) in Division 2: Sodra Svealand

Both squads have had plenty of rest since their previous effort on the pitch. Let's have faith in that this will be an energetic game!

5-5-4 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Motala when playing away games on artifical turf, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has grass). Their goal statistics from those 14 matches are 22-20 (scored/conceded).

Relegation threatens Eskilstuna who should definitely be looking for some points here. Motala are still fighting for the big positions at the top of the table.
