Örgryte hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 29 points and a 11th position in the Superettan table. Visiting Akropolis holds 6th place with 37 pts.

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.

Örgryte are fighting like crazy to avoid relegation and desperately need points in this fixture. Akropolis are still fighting for the big positions at the top of the table.
