IK Sävehof Women — Skara Women: 30:33, Swedish Cup Women

IK Sövdehov (women) and Skara (women) met in the Swedish Cup on 20 September 2026. The visitors claimed a 33-30 victory in what proved to be a tight encounter between two unbeaten sides. Both teams entered the fixture sitting at the top of the table with three wins from three matches.

Each side had shown consistent attacking output in their previous outings. Sövdehov's recent results included wins over H65 Höör and Boden Handboll IF, while Skara had drawn with Skövde HF and beat Västeros on two occasions. The match reflected that pattern of high-scoring handball.

We had called for the away side to prevail, placing 51 per cent confidence in that outcome. It was a cautious assessment, but Skara's ability to convert chances in the closing stages justified the prediction. The visitors held their nerve when it mattered most.

The result leaves both teams level on six points at the summit of the standings. A one-goal margin separates them on goal difference after this meeting. Each side still has an unblemished record, but the dynamic has shifted slightly.

Skara now carry momentum from a win over the league leaders. Sövdehov will look to bounce back in their next fixture after falling short in this cup tie. The table remains wide open with both clubs still in contention.
