During the weekend, Amy is expected to reach Sweden. Then Mjällby will also take on Elfsborg in the pursuit of a historic SM gold in football.
The Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute's meteorologist Maria Svedestig tells Radiosporten that the home team will have to reckon with windy and wet conditions on Saturday.
For Mjällby's part, it is that the gusts of wind during the day will be around 20 meters per second, i.e. very hard gusts of wind. It is possible that there may be storm gusts right in the coastal area during the day, so there is a risk that at the start of the match there could be some gusts of wind that are around storm strength, she says.
The Allsvenskan league leader's home ground, Strandvallen, is located right on the coastline. Something that will of course come to affect the match, which kicks off at 3 pm, says Svedestig.
It depends on whether you have the wind at your back or against you... It can be tough to run and the ball may not end up where you think it will when you pass over longer distances.
The meteorologist does not want to venture a guess as to how the bad weather may affect Mjällby's gold chances.
It depends on how you as an athlete can handle messy weather, rain and wind. It may be that the opponent has more problems than the home team has, she says.
Mjällby tops the Allsvenskan with 60 points, eleven more than second-placed Hammarby, with five rounds left of the season. If Mjällby wins against Elfsborg and Hammarby – who play on Sunday – lose points away to IFK Göteborg, the gold is secured.
