Who to watch

- For the visitors, Emma Engstroem is their leading scorer with eight goals in the same amount of appearances.
- Stellan Karlsson has led IFK Norrkoping (W), who set up in a compact 4-3-3 and try to clog the centre of the field with their defensive block, forcing the ball wide where they can match up.
- Johansson's Eskilstuna United (W) are the team best equipped to punish this style of matchup and are the better side when in transition, where they will look to pick off balls at pace to hurt the defence.
