Happy days for Varbergs in their previous game, a fixture away at Ullared (placed 12th) that ended with a 4-1 victory. Sweet to taste a league win after four fixtures without.

Assyriska BK form and stats

Assyriska BK might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Eskilsminne proved too strong as Assyriska BK slumped to a 0-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Ruddalens IP 1.
