An important duel in the bottom section of the Ettan: South, with both Motala and Eskilsminne experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 15th and the visitors in 14th place.
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.
