Örgryte manager Gunnarsson looking for three points in AFC Eskilstuna showdown

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting AFC Eskilstuna have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 5-4-10 (win-draw-loss) from 19 matches.

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 Örgryte and AFC Eskilstuna.
