Andersson is just over a minute behind the leading Russian Natalija Neprjajeva after four of six stages and hopes to take the lead when the tour continues with a mass start in Italian Val di Fiemme tomorrow.
On Tuesday, the tour ends with the classic climb up Alpe Cermis, where Andersson won last year.
- I know that there are normally two stages that suit me well, but as always it is a new competition with new conditions.
There is nothing you can take for granted.
It is important to do as good a job as possible out there on the track, she tells SVT Sport.
Andersson has his sights clearly set.
- I think I have everything to gain, it is with that attitude that I enter.
Especially tomorrow but also in the final stage up Alpe Cermis.
All chances are still there.
Last year was a blue-yellow success where the Swedes drove teams and helped Ebba Andersson to victory - her first in the World Cup.
When asked if it could be relevant with a new team run, Andersson answers:
- If such an opportunity arises, so absolutely.
But so far we have not really shifted to that competition focus.
First and foremost, it's about me having to get good skiing out there myself, it's A and O.
One who can not join and pull tomorrow is Frida Karlsson, who has left the tour.
- Of course Frida is missing, especially when she showed such good form in the latest competitions, says Ebba Andersson.
Charlotte Kalla - in 20th place in the overall standings - is on the same track.
- Ebba has an awesome capacity, it probably takes a skier like Frida to really be able to help her when it comes to such decisive tracks.
It is sad that Frida is no longer with us, she has been absolutely superb this winter, but at the same time she needs to make wise decisions for herself, says Kalla.
