National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Vänersborgs FK or Utsikten that keep their silverware dream alive.
There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Division 1: South game only three days ago.
Vänersborgs FK form and stats
Last season their Svenska Cupen adventure ended in the group stage.OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Vänersborgs FK's two home games in the Division 2: Norra Gotaland so far this season, having collected 4 points here at Vänersvallen Stadion.
A nice win for Vänersborgs FK last time playing, versus IFK Åmål. That was also a home game and the match ended 5-0. Heartbreak before that as Vänersborgs lost 1-2 at Lidköping's place.
As mentioned above, Vänersborgs "killed" IFK Åmål in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.
The manager R. Käkelä will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Vargarda in only four days.
At Vänersvallen Stadion, Vänersborgs FK has the goal stats of 7-2 (for/against) from 2 league fixtures.
Utsikten form and stats
Last season their Svenska Cupen adventure ended in the 2nd round.Playing away, Utsikten have won 2 games, drawn 3 and suffered 1 defeat in the Division 1: South this season. Two points from the last two away games for Utsikten, which the math geniuses among you will translate to two draws.
M. Dresevic and K. Yakob scored in Utsikten's previous match, the home game against Qviding FIF that ended 2-0. Preceding that game, the 1-1 draw paying a visit to Assyriska Turabdin.
A quick return to home after this game, as Utsikten are hosting Eskilsminne in the Division 1: South only three days away.
