There are five rounds of the Damallsvenskan remaining and BK Häcken is currently in fourth place in the table - the first three qualify for the Champions League next year.
Before Sunday's meeting, second in the table Linköpings FC has 49 points, five more than Häcken.
- It's a good team, but if we play like we do here today and have done before, we have a great chance, Elin Rubensson told SVT Sport just after the loss against PSG at home in Wednesday's Champions League qualifier.
The time to recharge from just missing out on a Champions League group stage spot to chasing a new qualifying spot is short.
- It is important to be careful with the recovery and adjust mentally, but it is always a good experience to get these matches and that the body gets to feel the physics that is international, so I think we will become stronger as a team and take with us it to the Damallsvenskan, says Elin Rubensson to SVT Sport.
Jennifer Falk is on the same track.
- I hope that we bring a high tempo and a solid duel game to the match against Linköping, it is a good team we face, says BK Häcken's goalkeeper to SVT Sport just after that, with the loss with a total of 1-4 against PSG, it was clear that BK Häcken will not play group games in the Champions League in 2022, something they managed to do in 2021.
Now a victory against Linköpings FC is required to take a big step closer to one of the three places at the top of the table, which gives a hotly awaited qualification place for 2023.
- We were in the Champions Leauge last year and had bigger losses than this year.
We stand up better this year and show that we have taken a step forward.
These are the matches you want to play, says Elin Rubensson to SVT Sport.
