Falkenberg are receiving AFC Eskilstuna for another vital fixture after their 1-1 result vs 2nd-placed GIF Sundsvall.

Insights:
  • Falkenberg have the most conceded goals (48) in Superettan
  • AFC Eskilstuna have the fewest points (6) away in Superettan

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.

This football stadium has grass, which is not AFC Eskilstuna's familiar surface at their own field. When playing on grass AFC Eskilstuna have performed like this: Played 33 matches earning 4 wins, 6 draws and 23 defeats with the goal difference 26-69 (scored/conceded).

Relegation threatens Falkenberg who should definitely be looking for some points here. Eskilstuna are struggling to avoid relegation.
