This First Liga fixture comes with a clear picture even before kick-off: Skanste must deal with a Metta / LU side widely seen as clearly superior, and the results over 100 matches point the same way. Skanste have 0 wins, 5 draws and Metta / LU have 95 wins. Skanste come in as the team that has to defend as tightly as possible; their attack is not especially trustworthy, while Metta / LU are the side that controls almost the entire game. The pattern is therefore likely to flow one way: Metta / LU hold the ball and push high, while Skanste drop deep and wait for the occasional counter. If Skanste score first, the game could open up and become an exchange of blows with space for both sides. But if Metta / LU take the lead first, as many expect, the game should flow even more one way and Skanste will have to absorb heavier pressure.
