Allsvenskan Relegation-Promotion play-off

Ljungskile v IF Brommapojkarna
Ljungskile will be fighting for their Allsvenskan status that was achieved in 2007. The newly-promoted team from last season finished 14th this season and thus enter the play-off with IF Brommapojkarna.

Ljungskile
Ljungskile were in real danger in going down automatically after losing 3-0 away on the final day but were saved as GIF Sundsvall lost 6-0 to go down when they needed the win. But the test really begins for Ljungskile. Surviving the 1st test when they could've went down last weekend had it not been for Sundsvall's bad luck. IF Brommapojkarna will be now pushovers for Ljungskile.

IF Brommapojkarna:
IF Brommapojkarna based in Stockholm are an awkward type of opponent. The team who play in black and red were relegated from the Allsvenskan in 2007 having lost out on the final day. 2008 though has been a good year for the Stockholm side. Sneaking into the play-off position after beating Degerfors and Assriyaska lost.

Key Players:
Joakim Runnemo will be Brommapojkarna's key for the play-off. The Swede who scored 14 league goals for Brommapojkarna's promotion push this season will be eager to play Ljungskile to add to his goal collection. While Ljungskile will be looking towards their top scorer. Niklas Lofgren
