On Tuesday night, the second semi-final of the SM final game in speedway. Vetlanda has a good starting position against the reigning Swedish champions Smeds since the team only lost the first match by two points.

And this season, home turf has been a recipe for success for Vetlanda - the team is unbeaten on the home field.

- We chose to quit at home to be able to take a possible downside. But it will be a tough match, says Mikael Wirebrand.

Two best teams in recent years

In recent years, it has been Vetlanda and the Blacksmiths who have dominated in Swedish speedway. Vetlanda won the Swedish gold in 2015 and 2016 and the smiths have taken home the title for the last two seasons.

And before the evening hit, the weather gods also seem to be on Vetlanda's side. Stay and quite warm says the weather forecast.

- It has rained tonight, but now it looks good so it does.

Vetlanda's team leaders also hope for a lot of audience tonight.

- It will be a tough semi-final and good weather - I hope for many thousands, says Mikael Wirebrand.
