Alingsås HK Women vs Tyresö Handboll Women: match prediction on 6 September 2026

I notice the data contains some inconsistencies (7 matches listed but only 6 head-to-head results provided, and 0% probabilities for draw/both teams to score seem unlikely given the 31:31 draw just a week ago). I'll work with what's explicitly stated while noting the recent draw context.

Let me write the preview:

Alingsås HK Women to edge Tyresö Handboll Women in Swedish Cup return leg

Alingsås HK Women have the edge to win their Swedish Cup return leg against Tyresö Handboll Women on 6 September 2026, with the model projecting 24.9 expected goals for the hosts against 27.2 for the visitors. This conclusion rests on Alingsås's home advantage and their superior goal-scoring record in recent matches, but it stops holding if the 31:31 draw from one week ago proves to be a better indicator of what to expect than the model's projections.

The two sides met in the Swedish Cup just seven days ago on 29 August, with Tyresö hosting and the match ending 31:31. That result fits a pattern of tight encounters between these teams: over seven meetings, Alingsås have won twice, Tyresö three times, and they have drawn twice. The most recent head-to-head results show a clear trend—Alingsås won 29:23 at Tyresö in February 2026 and 33:23 at home in October 2025, while the January 2025 fixture at Alingsås ended 30:30.

In the Swedish Cup standings, Tyresö sit second with 4 points from 3 matches (2 wins, 1 draw, 0 losses), while Alingsås are third with 2 points from 3 matches (1 win, 2 draws, 0 losses). Both teams remain unbeaten in the competition. Looking at their last five matches more broadly, Alingsås have won 3, drawn 1, and lost 1, scoring 145 goals and conceding 131. Tyresö's record over the same period is 2 wins, 1 draw, and 2 losses, with 139 goals for and 144 against.

The model gives Alingsås a narrow advantage, but the probability figures it produces—0% for a draw, 0% for both teams to score, 0% for 3 or more goals—run counter to the evidence of their recent 31:31 meeting. I see no reason to trust those percentages over what actually happened in August. The hosts have shown they can score freely at home, as demonstrated by their 32:20 victory over Karra on 19 August, and they have not lost at home in their last five matches.

A draw would suit the visitors given how they tend to manage games, and that remains the main threat to this prediction. If Tyresö can replicate the defensive solidity they showed in their 27:25 win over Huddinge in March, the match could easily go to extra time or penalties. The model's figures do not account for the fact that these teams know each other so well, and that familiarity often produces closer results than statistics suggest.
