IFK Luleå will hope to utilise their home advantage to help bridge the gap to today’s opponents. The home side are currently 20 points behind Sylvia.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Sylvia 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 10-5-9 (win-draw-loss) from 24 matches.
These teams have little in common geographically as Sylvia have to travel 1000 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Luleå are staying put; they can neither be promoted or relegated this season and are fighting only for positions. Sylvia is no longer fighting for a cause; they can neither go up or down this season.
