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.

Västerås lost their last game at Värnamo (placed 1st) after a 2-3 scoreline. The penalty miss from D. Jajić in the defeat against Värnamo was a source of irritation for some fans, but these things happen.

GAIS form and stats

4 wins, 1 draw and 6 losses. That’s the product of GAIS playing as the away team in the Superettan this season.

GAIS go into this game after a win, the home game against Orgryte that ended 2-1. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager S. Jacobsson when R. Yarsuvat scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 78th minute.

Ahead of that game was the 0-0 draw at home against Falkenberg.

GAIS are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is five wins, one draw and five defeats. From a total of eleven matches.

It's worth mentioning that 6 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
