Karlskrona hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 14 points and a 16th position in the Ettan: South table. Visiting Skövde AIK holds 9th place with 34 pts.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
For Karlskrona relegation is already certain this season. Only divine intervention and/or time travel can save them and neither look likely. Skövde are fighting to avoid relegation and will work hard for points.
Karlskrona form and stats
Karlskrona's results here at Västra Marks IP in the Ettan: South have been very modest with 2 victories, 4 draws and 7 defeats. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Karlskrona with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Oskarshamns AIK game, 30 days ago, have they avoided a loss. The Karlskrona manager S. Linder might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.
