I think the first three meetings will be really close and cracking meetings.
I wouldn't be surprised to see Indianerna with Woffinden, Bjerre, Thomsen and Milik
winning against Dackarna even though  they look really strong too.
Västervik should win at home against a Rospiggarna without Doyle.
Smederna - Vetlanda could go in any direction but I think Vetlanda is favourites with their current form.

Weather forcasts: Weather is a bit unpredictable at the moment. Thunders and showers are expected for most tracks and
these can pop up a bit whenever and wherever they like so it is hard to know before they show up.
Gislaved (Lejonen) is expected to have hot and sunny weather.

Masarna look as if they have given up !! I wonder if Piraterna will swap divisions with them next year ?

Leon wasn't just a temporary signing to cover Wozniak's absence?

He was at first but then Vetlanda brought him in again (for rest of season) in the transfer window since Miskowiak became injured.

Thanks Ghost.

Nu kör vi igen!
Efter ett kortare uppehåll så drar vi nu igång igen. Vi inleder på tuffaste sätt med en bortamatch mot serieledarna Eskilstuna Smederna. Under transferfönstret så har vi gjort både frivilliga och ofrivilliga ändringar i truppen. Dessutom så skadade sig Filip under JEM tävlingen i lördags och vi vet ingen status gällande hans skada ännu, men han är inte med imorgon. Vi önskar Filip ett snabbt tillfrisknande!

Följande sju förare är uttagna att köra matchen i Eskilstuna. 1.Artem Laguta, 2.Tomas H Jonasson, 3.Brady Kurtz, 4.Szymon Wozniak, 5.Bartosz Zmarzlik, 6.Johan Jensen, 7.Kasper Lykke Nielsen. I morse fick vi dock ett sent återbud från Szymon vilket gör att vi i skrivande stund kommer köra ”riders” för honom. Om det sker någon förändring återkommer vi med det.

Övriga fem förare är inte tillgängliga till denna match av olika anledningar. Vi åker självklart till Eskilstuna för att bjuda dem på en riktigt tuff match. Nu kör vi och jobbar för en bra avslutning på grundserien, för att ge oss så bra förutsättningar som möjligt inför slutspelet. #VetlandaSpeedway2018

 

According to this, if translation was correct, RR for Wozniak and no changes possible as other drivers cannot run this meeting for various reasons. It means no Leon and no Magnus Karlsson either.

Any chance to confirm Ghost?

I dont know Krompa. Stephen Zetterwall said in a chat comment during Smederna's Facebook live broadcast that we should expect to see Leon and possibly Magnus tonight. Stephen usually knows what he is talking about so I choose to trust him.

The teams listed there can't be changed once they have been registered as far as I know. We'll see when the live results pages are updated with confirmed teams.
