Eskilstuna United (home)
- In a game which has all the hallmarks of a classic clash of styles, Rosengard’s high-pressing, possession-based game will come up against Eskilstuna’s pragmatic, disciplined approach.
- It will be a battle for control and space, and, in a similar fashion to their opening home match, Eskilstuna United will aim to sit deep, control midfield, be patient in build-up and pounce on any transition opportunities.
- Since Rickard Johansson’s appointment as manager, United have become a side that are flexible, but consistent in their approach.
- United have won 4 of their last 5, including a current 3-match winning streak, with a 2-0 away win against IFK Norrkoeping and a 1-0 victory at home against IK Uppsala Fotboll.

- Rosengard have lost 2 of their 3 games on the road, conceding 2 goals on average, whilst picking up a 2-2 draw with Kristianstads DFF at home and a 2-1 defeat to Piteaa IF on the road.
