Two years ago, Piteå celebrated a Swedish Championship gold.
This year, the nine are in the table with one match left to play.
- It has been a tough season.
We had a slump in the middle of the season where I think our confidence dropped, but we have worked our way up from it.
It can go fast in sports and it is of course that we are in a situation now that we wished we were not in, says Julia Karlernäs to SVT Sport.
The last round of the damallsvenskan is played on Sunday.
Piteå, Djurgården and Umeå are the teams that risk going out.
Umeå is on the relocation site and is one point behind Djurgården - and two points behind Piteå.
- It is a very nice feeling to know that if we go out and win the match then we will fix it, the pressure is on the others.
The team will face Örebro away in the final round, despite the fact that they have everything in their own hands, a victory may be required to secure the contract.
- It will be a match with a lot of emotions of course.
There is a lot at stake, but I think it will be fun.
These are the kind of matches you want to play, matches that really matter, says Karlernäs.
When SVT Sport talks to Umeå's Lisa Dahlkvist, she predicts that they will win their match, but that Piteå will lose against Örebro and thus leave.
- I do not think so.
It will be tough and even matches but I think we will win our match, says Karlernäs.
