Football throws up these lovely surprises that you are not expecting from time to time." For now, Bloomfield can enjoy the rare privilege of being able to say yes to his family without checking the fixture list first.

There is little to choose between Alingsås W and Linköping W on paper, and the Elitettan encounter should reflect that balance. It has been a torrid run for the hosts, WLDWL in their last five and a season win rate of just 22.22% that has the alarm bells ringing. The visitors have been formidable away from home, LWLWW in their last five and a win rate of 66.67% that puts them in elite company. Where Alingsås W have built their campaign on solidity, Linköping W have often chased flair, and that fundamental difference should make for compelling viewing. He was sacked by Fiorentina after Che Adams' late goal for Torino left them bottom of the Serie A table with three defeats out of three.

Set-piece efficiency could prove the difference on the night. Both Alingsås W and Linköping W have invested time in dead-ball situations this season, and a single corner or free-kick may settle it.

Predictions are tricky when the sides are this evenly matched, and small margins — a moment of quality, a slice of luck — could decide it either way. A share of the spoils looks the most probable outcome, with neither side holding a decisive edge — a 2-2 draw feels like a fitting result. With the standings tight and form on the line, this is a fixture neither side will want to lose. And Fonseca does not place too much weight on the decision of Roberto Martinez to omit him from the World Cup squad in favour of his Benfica team-mate Tomas Araujo.
