The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Linköping City are in the 7th position while the guesting Skövde AIK worry at 12th.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Linköping City and Skövde AIK.
This pitch has artifical turf, which is not Skövde AIK's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on artifical turf Skövde AIK have performed like this: Played seven matches resulting in 1 win, 3 draws and 3 defeats with the goal stats 5-8 (scored/conceded).
Linköping City form and stats
Linköping City must be fairly happy with 5 points from their first three Ettan: South games here at Arena Linköping.
Before that, Linköping City drew at home versus Torns.
As mentioned above, Linköping "killed" Karlskrona in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.
There will be little rest for Linköping after this match as they are travelling to Utsikten for a Ettan: South game in only four days.
Linköping are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 4 goals in 3 games. Linköping have only conceded 2 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Skövde AIK form and stats
Still no away game victory in the Ettan: South for Skövde AIK with 1 draw and 2 losses from their first 3 attempts. Skövde seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?
The manager S. Strind was unhappy after their last game, a Ettan: South match played at their home ground Södermalms IP. Skövde suffered a 1-3 loss to Lindome (placed 5th). Prior to that match, the Skövde AIK manager S. Strind faced defeat when travelling to Trollhattan and losing 0-1.
The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Tvååker in just four days.
The attacking power of Skövde when travelling is not overwhelming with 2 goals scored from 3 league matches away. 4 goals have been conceded by Skövde in these games.
