With their 5 point advantage in the league table, Brage fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against AFC Eskilstuna.
Brage and AFC Eskilstuna 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.
This stadium uses grass, unlike AFC Eskilstuna's home stadium. The visitors last 31 games on grass have ended in 3 wins, 11 draws and 17 losses.

Brage form and stats
Brage have collected 16 points from their Superettan home games so far after 4-4-6. Game days at Domnarvsvallen have recently become somewhat of a nightmare for Brage as they have lost three home games in a row. It hurts.
Brage faced defeat in their previous match, away at Akropolis (1-2). Ahead of that match, Brage lost 0-3 at home to Västerås SK.
This is expected to be a close game, with Brage perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Brage as a small favourite), we find five games. Brage has won two of these, drawn zero and lost three.
Brage has scored 15 league goals at home this season, in 14 matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. 19 goals have been conceded.
AFC Eskilstuna form and stats
AFC Eskilstuna, who have the most conceded goals (48) in Superettan, have only collected 11 points from their away games in the Superettan, after 3-2-9 (14 played). Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Eskilstuna's last three away games as they have all been lost.
The supporters enjoyed AFC Eskilstuna's previous game versus Degerfors (placed 2nd), a Superettan 2-0 win played at home. Prior to that match, the Eskilstuna manager Ö. Melkemichel faced defeat when travelling to Oster and losing 1-2.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found two similar matches played by AFC Eskilstuna in our archives, and the results are: one win for Eskilstuna, one draw and zero defeats.
