Jonkopings takes on the visitors Skovde AIK in the round 9 match of Swedish Superettan league. The match will be played on Tuesday, May 24th at Stadsparksvallen (Jönköping).
Skovde played in the lower division last season and won the right to participate in a more prestigious division after beating Akropolis in two matches. At the beginning of the season, the team showed agility and even walked among the leaders of the division for some time. However, the starting impulse of the team is gradually fading away So there will be fewer and fewer easy matches for Skövde. The team did not win the last three rounds: a draw with Örebro and two losses against Halmstad and Dalkurd. The defeat from Dalkurd came as a surprise and revealed problems in the defense of Skovde.

Jönköping found himself perilously close to the relegation zone last season and took steps to strengthen the squad during the off-season. It hasn't brought any big changes yet, the team is in the relegation zone at the moment. However, the team's performance is noteworthy - 17 goals scored and 20 conceded. Even Ergryte, who failed the start of the season and did not win a single victory, conceded one goal less. But in terms of goals scored, Jönköping's attack goes among the leaders, only two teams scored more than them and two more as many, including Halmstad, the leader of the division. The lion's share of these goals was scored in their arena - 11, and more than half of the goals were conceded there - 12 out of 20.
Skovde didn’t score for the first time in the last round, this is largely due to the absence of Vladislav Kreida, which immediately affected the attacking potential of the team. However, in this match, Kreida will return to action. Given the state of the defense of the hosts, it is quite possible to count on at least one goal from the visitors. The hosts will be forced to play to win, as the standings oblige them to go forward, however, they do this in all matches without exception. We expect another shootout on the Jönköping field with unclear prospects, but with a lot of goals scored in both ends.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score – yes.
