Husqvarna W vs Linköping W - Elitettan

There is a notable edge to this Elitettan fixture. When Husqvarna W meet Linköping W at the home ground on May 31, 2026, both will sense an opportunity to land a telling blow. Tottenham face Aston Villa in the Premier League on Saturday.

The two sides arrive with plenty to prove, and the Elitettan contest at the home ground offers a chance to lay down a marker. The hosts have mirrored the form of a side still searching for rhythm — W over their last five, a win rate of 38.89%. When a team wins 66.67% of their matches and posts LWLWW in their last five, as Linköping W have, even the longest trips hold no fear. Goals could be in short supply or plentiful — Husqvarna W average 1.44 per game to Linköping W's 2, and that gap may dictate the rhythm of the contest. But the Reds are still unsure about Bologna's asking price for the defender, who turned 28 in June and has less than 12 months to run on his contract at the Serie A side.

Tactically, the contest promises a fascinating contrast. Husqvarna W will look to impose their style on home soil, while Linköping W are likely to have ideas of their own about how to gain the upper hand. In his press conference on Friday, Tuchel admitted it 'hurt him' not to play the United man in America.

Game-changers are scattered across both line-ups, and the contest may well be decided by which side's match-winners deliver on the day. How each side deals with the other's danger men — and who takes their chances when they come — will be central to the outcome. More than that, he is the club's top scorer in a single European campaign.

The market has yet to form a strong view, and the contest looks genuinely difficult to call. 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. Whatever the outcome, the Elitettan fixture promises a meaningful contest with real implications for both clubs. 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.
