SVT Sport broadcasts Saturday's summit between table four Kristanstad and second Gothenburg. A match that can be quite tough for Gothenburg, who lost the league final against Rosengård last weekend.

Instead of a six-point lead in the event of a victory, the Gothenburg women were passed by Rosengård, who took over first place thanks to a better goal difference.

- Now it is up to Gothenburg to show that they are back mentally after the loss against Rosengård, says Frida Östberg.

This summer, Gothenburg has seriously challenged Rosengård for the Swedish Championship gold, but can hardly afford to lose in the continued hunt.

- It is important for the team to be on and even sharpen the goal difference, because they are eleven goals behind Rosengård.

The attacking star is missing

A major setback for Gothenburg is the injury that striker Stina Blackstenius suffered after 30 minutes of play in the meeting with Rosengård.

- She has an injury in the attachment to the back of her thigh, four to six weeks return time, Matilda Lundblad, team doctor at Gothenburg, has explained.

Blackstenius' injury is worrying for Gothenburg, says Frida Östberg:

- Absolutely. They lack a national team player who both runs the most and accounts for the most finishes.

The matches between Kristanstad and Gothenburg are usually tough duels.

- Often tough matches, and also now two teams that want to secure a Champions League place, says Frida Östberg.

Comes from loss

Kristianstad comes to the match after a somewhat unexpected home loss against Djurgården in the previous round. Before that, the team had three straight victories.

- So there are two teams that come from losses and want revenge that meet.

Which team takes three points?

- I think Gothenburg will win, but it will be tough.

Series leader Rosengård plays his next match on Sunday, away against Eskilstuna.
