    54:10
    Little bit more excitement. Liberec turning the play on several occasions.

    26:00
    Linkoping tries and tries, but the defensive play from Liberec is not something easy to break.

    Welcome everybody, from SAAB Arena, Linkoping where the game will start at 19:00.

    Linkoping has been going on a bit of a hot streak during the start of their season in their native league. Last four games with four wins, one after penalties.

    A team who had trouble in their last game and where not much clicked right but who are in the move and excited to find some revenge for the last game. Liberec won that with 4-1 at home.
