Lulea Women — Brahe Women: 132:49, Basketligan Women

Luleå Women saw off Bråvalla Women 132:49 in the Basketball League on 11 October. The home side made no mistake against a visitor already rooted to the bottom of the table. By then, the result felt inevitable rather than surprising.

The hosts took control early and never looked back. They pulled away through the second quarter and kept extending the margin. To be fair, the visitors simply had nothing to offer in transition.

We had backed this one seven days ago — Luleå to win at 71 per cent confidence. The prediction came good, and the margin confirmed what the form suggested. The home side simply outclassed a team that had lost 17 of 24 league games.

Statistically, the gap was as wide as the scoreline showed. Luleå were averaging over 90 points in recent outings, while Bråvalla had been conceding freely. The expected outcome materialised without drama.

The victory keeps Luleå top of the standings on 22 wins from 24 matches. Bråvalla remain 11th, still chasing points they have struggled to find all season. The gulf between them was on full display.
