Superettan: Important and interesting fight between Västerås SK and Falkenberg at Iver Arena. Both are in need of a good run!

Insights:

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.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Falkenberg have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artifical turf is 1-3-14 (win-draw-loss) from 18 matches.
