Insights:

  • 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.

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 4-6-22 (win-draw-loss) from 32 matches.

Trelleborg are battling for top spots and have everything to play for. Eskilstuna are still fighting for top positions and their benefits.
