Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Oskarshamns AIK & Elfsborg face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Svenska Cupen. All the pre-match information is available here!

It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Allsvenskan. That game was also an away game, at Djurgården. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
