Umeå hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 25 points and a 15th position in the Superettan table. Visiting Västerås SK holds 8th place with 35 pts.
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.
Umeå are fighting like crazy to avoid relegation and desperately need points in this fixture. Västerås are struggling to avoid relegation.
