This football pitch uses the playing surface grass, unlike Östersunds FK's home stadium. The former 20 games by the away side on grass have seen 5 wins, 5 draws and 10 losses.

It's quite the trip for Östersunds FK when visiting Halmstad as the cities are 800 kilometers apart.

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Halmstad and Östersunds FK.
