- Sandvikens have been erratic in September, following two superb away wins at Trelleborg and a home victory over Örebro with two hammerings by Falkenberg and Brage.
- Eldar Abdulic’s side are full of attacking quality and can break the opposition apart on their day, but they are porous at the back.

- Saarenpää’s men are good at transitioning, but have struggled to finish off chances in recent weeks, failing to score in their last two games in Superettan, a 4-0 defeat to Västerås and 2-0 to Kalmar.
