Skellefteå is currently holding the last playoff spot as they are sitting in 8:th place, 3 points ahead of the chasing teams, and this with just 2 rounds to go, so the hometeam can infact secure their playoff spot at home today, and they will be eager to get the win. At home, Skellefte is a strong unit, no loss in the 7 last homegames durin regular gametime is a good record for a team in the lower half. Former NHL star Mikael Renberg is part of one of the most dangerous lines in the league, and he says they will fight to get the win today. Still missing is Fredrik Krekula, and this weekend Erik Andersson sufferd a injury in a toe and will miss the game.

HV/! is by far the best team in the league. They secured the leaguevictory some time ago, at the moment they are 17 points ahead of 2:nd team. But they tend to be a bit un motivaited on the ice, not going at it at full power. This could ofcourse happen when you just await the playoffs. Comming from 2 straigt losses, the last one at home to 9:th placed Södertälje is proof if this. And today a couple of players will miss the game due to a stomachflu that have hit the team. Goalie Stefan Liv and important Johan Davidsson will miss the game, and Björn Melin, Per Ledin, Jukka Voutalainen, Jan Hrdina and Martin Thörnberg is very unsecure. If all is missing then HV71 are in big problem in the offensive part.

Motivation is a big factor today, and i think Skellefteå can grab the win, and 2.16 is a good odds for it.

Good Luck Ladies & Gentlemen.
