Match begins: 14:00 (UTC)
Venue: Arena Linköping (8000 seats)

With their 20 point advantage in the league table, Linköping City fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against Karlskrona.

Linköping City and Karlskrona should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Karlskrona have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artifical turf is 0-2-6 (win-draw-loss) from eight matches.

Relegation threatens Linköping City who should definitely be looking for some points here. For Karlskrona it's their last days at this level as relegation is a fact.

Karlskrona form and stats

There's been little loot from Karlskrona's travels as they have only collected 4 points from 13 away games in the Ettan: South. Karlskrona, who have the most conceded goals (75) in Ettan: South, only have 1 win to counter their 11 defeats and 1 draw. With the Karlskrona losing streak of five defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking. Bitter travels for Karlskrona as they have lost six games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Motala match.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Ettan: South home defeat versus Skövde AIK with 1-2 on the scoreboard. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Landskrona wasn't a success with a 0-4 loss.

The attacking power of Karlskrona when travelling is not overwhelming with 10 goals scored from 13 league matches away. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Karlskrona can't defend away. 39 goals have been scored by the opposition in 13 matches, an average of more than three per game.
