+ The captain back
After two games on the sidelines due to injury, the back rock and team captain Oliver Ekman-Larsson are back. This probably means that Jonathan Pudas will be transferred to a doctor’s place. On the forward side, Mathias Bromé has been out of the team the last two matches.
+ Last match with the gang?
The quarter final can be the last match with the gang for the national team captain Johan Garpenlöv. He quits after the World Cup and is replaced by Växjö coach Sam Hallam. In the event of a victory, Garpenlöv keeps the dream of having a golden end point alive.
+ Extension and penalties
If the quarter-final is a draw at full time, extra time, where the first goal decides, waits for ten minutes. The overtime is played three to three. If it is still the same, there will be penalties, with five penalty shooters each. If it is still not decided, sudden death sentences, one round at a time, await a decided team.
+ Other quarter finals
Also today: Germany – Czech Republic (15.20, Helsinki), Switzerland – USA (19.20, Helsinki), Finland – Slovakia (19.20, Tampere). All matches are shown on Viaplay / TV6 or TV10.
