National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Sollentuna or Västerås SK that keep their silverware dream alive.
It's no vacation for neither Sollentuna nor Västerås SK as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Västerås SK have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 8-6-17 (win-draw-loss) from 31 matches.
Sollentuna form and stats
Sollentuna have not come this way in the Svenska Cupen without some hard work on the way, more precisely defeating Enkoping. Sollentuna was eliminated in the 2nd round last season in the Svenska Cupen.Happy days for Sollentuna in their previous game, a Division 1: North match away at Assyriska that ended with a 2-1 victory. A late climax in the match against Assyriska as the winning goal came one minutes into overtime; scored by W. Nilsson.
Ahead of that match, Sollentuna won a home game hosting Umeå (2-1).Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Division 1: North game versus IF Karlstad in only four days. This game is also played here at Sollentunavallen.
Västerås SK form and stats
They also participated in Svenska Cupen last season. This ended in the semi-finals.Västerås SK have only collected 4 points from their away games in the Superettan, after 1-1-5 (7 played). A depressing four defeats in a row for Västerås SK in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Trelleborg.
Västerås SK play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 0-1 to Landskrona.
Preceding that, the 2-3 home loss versus Akropolis.The visitors will be packing their bags again in only three days as another away game awaits: The Superettan trip to Brage.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Västerås SK as they have only managed to score 4 times from 7 away games in the league. As opposed to that, Västerås SK have seen the ball go into their own net 10 times on the road.
Head 2 Head
