Sodertalje Women — AIK Basket Women: 80:56, Basketligan Women

Södertälje Women 80:56 AIK Basket Women

Södertälje Women defeated AIK Basket Women 80:56 in the Basketball League on Thursday evening. The home side built a substantial lead and saw it through to the final whistle. The result moves them closer to the upper half of the table.

AIK had been the stronger side earlier in the season, winning 68:66 when the two clubs met back in March. Södertälje had not played since their narrow 77:74 victory over Uppsala Women on 3 October. By then the home side had already accumulated 14 wins from 24 league outings.

They sit sixth with 10 defeats to their name. AIK occupy fifth place with eight losses from the same number of games. The gap between them is not vast, but this result shifts the momentum in Södertälje's favour.

We had tipped the home side to win, giving them a 64 per cent probability. And here's the thing — the margin suggests more than a tactical adjustment. They pinned AIK back from the opening exchanges and never let the visitors find a rhythm.

The away side have been running out of games without a win, having lost their last outing 76:87 to Alvik. Södertälje now have the deeper squad to test against the teams above them. The table remains fluid, but this performance carries weight.
