12th- against 7th position might not sound all that tempting to look into. Fear not: Here's the details that makes Motala - Umeå (even) more action-packed!

Insights:
  • Motala have the fewest conceded goals (1) at home in Ettan: North
  • Umeå have the most matches under the total-line (3) in Ettan: North

This football pitch has grass, which is not Umeå's familiar surface at their own football stadium. When appearing on grass Umeå have performed like this: Played 23 matches taking 5 wins, 9 draws and 9 defeats with the goal difference 21-31 (scored/conceded).

These teams have little in common geographically as Umeå have to travel 800 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

Motala and Umeå 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.
