Oscreshamn secured a 3:2 victory over Visby/Roma in a club friendly match on 25 August 2026. The contest took place at home for the hosts, who saw it out despite a resilient finish from their visitors. It was a straightforward result, though the scoreline suggested a tighter contest than the final tally implied.
The hosts arrive in this fixture with mixed fortunes. Their most recent outing was a 1:2 defeat to Vimmerby HC on 12 August, capping a difficult run in March where they lost four of five games against Björklöven. That form had to be left behind, and this performance offered some reassurance after the earlier setbacks.
Visby/Roma come into this game with less recent history to draw on. Their last recorded matches date back to 2024, when they lost 4:3 to Oscreshamn in a previous encounter. Since then they have faced HV71 twice and Malmö Redhawks, with results ranging from a 2:1 win over Kalmar to a heavy 1:6 defeat.
Things came to a head in the closing stages, with the visitors pushing for an equaliser. Oscreshamn held firm to claim all three points, improving on their recent record of losses. The result marks a turnaround from the form that saw them win only once in their last five outings before this friendly.
The victory gives Oscreshamn something to build on as they look to establish consistency. Visby/Roma, meanwhile, face a rebuild after years without competitive fixtures. Both sides will need time to find their rhythm before the next competitive campaign begins.
