Trollhättan-Ljungby secured a 3-2 victory over Borås in a club friendly match on Tuesday, 9 September 2026. The result came just five days after the two sides met, when Borås won 4-3 in their previous encounter. A friendly match, by nature, offers little more than a snapshot of current form.
The reversal is worth noting. Borås ran out winners in the earlier fixture at home, but this time the visitors came away with the three points. And here's the thing — these games rarely tell you much about league position, but they do reveal who is finding their rhythm.
Borås have been involved in plenty of open games recently. Their last five matches include four- and five-goal affairs against Trollhättan-Ljungby, Tranås, and Gröstorps. They lost 1-4 to Frederikshavn and 2-7 to Sarpsborg 08, but the four- and five-goal affairs suggest they are not afraid to commit forward.
Trollhättan-Ljungby's recent results show a similar pattern. They beat Dale 3-0 and drew heavily with Västerås IK on two occasions before losing narrowly to Halmstad 0-2. The 3-2 victory here extends a run where they have been involved in several high-scoring matches, including their 3-4 defeat to Borås just days ago.
The standings mean nothing in a friendly, and neither team is fighting for anything tangible. What remains is the sense that both sides are testing combinations without worrying about consequences. By then, the coach will have seen what works and what does not.
Five days between meetings is short notice, and the result suggests neither side held back. Trollhättan-Ljungby turned it around after their earlier defeat, while Borås found no answer to the visitors' approach. The scoreline says it all — 3-2, with the away side taking something from the game.
