An important duel in the bottom section of the Superettan, with both Umeå and AFC Eskilstuna experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 14th and the visitors in 15th place.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
