There is little to choose between Husqvarna and Kumla on paper, and the Division 2 - Norra Götaland encounter should reflect that balance. The hosts have hit a rich vein of form, LWWWW over their last five outings translating into a 80.95% win rate this campaign. The visitors have been enduring a wretched campaign, D in their last five and a season win rate of just 23.81% that leaves them deep in trouble. The contrast in attacking output — 2.38 versus 0.95 goals per game — adds an extra layer of intrigue.
