Struggling AFC Eskilstuna will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Degerfors in the upcoming league round. It’s 14th vs 1st and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
This pitch has artifical turf, which is not Degerfors's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on artifical turf Degerfors have performed like this: Played ten matches resulting in 6 wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats with the goal stats 26-11 (scored/conceded).
Eskilstuna are fighting like crazy to avoid relegation and desperately need points in this fixture. Degerfors are still fighting for the big positions at the top of the table.
