It's no vacation for neither Sundsvall nor Trelleborg as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

3-5-6 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Trelleborg when playing away games on artifical turf, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has grass). Their goal statistics from those 14 matches are 21-27 (scored/conceded).

These teams have little in common geographically as Trelleborg have to travel 1000 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
