This fixture was previously settled by a 1-0 win for Värnamo back in April, but the situation is different now. Both teams are level on points at 35 and 32 points from 27 matches, with Sandvikens IF in 9th and Värnamo in 11th, giving this game real meaning in the fight to stay clear of the lower group. Värnamo return home after a 1-0 win in their last match, but the overall picture over the last five is 3 wins and 2 losses, with each of those wins requiring a nervy finish. Sandvikens IF are unbeaten in their last match and picked up a 0-0 draw in their previous game. The visitors have conceded fewer goals than their opponents all season (38 compared to 47) and have a slightly more stubborn defence. This looks like a game where Värnamo will have to take the initiative going forward, because they are at home and need the three points, while Sandvikens IF will likely sit back, wait for counter-attacking moments and use the solidity of their defence as a base. If the hosts cannot break through early, the game could drag on and end with a result where the visitors do not lose.
