Venue: Umeå Energi Arena SOL (8000 seats)

An important duel in the bottom section of the Superettan, with both Umeå and Trelleborg experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 15th and the visitors in 14th place.

This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!

Trelleborg play their home games on grass, while this game is played on artifical turf. Recent stats for Trelleborg when playing on artifical turf are 2 wins, 5 draws and 6 defeats from 13 matches. They have scored 16 goals and conceded 24 times in these games.

These teams have little in common geographically as Trelleborg have to travel 1200 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
