Timrå — Orebro HK: 1:5, SHL

Örebro visited Timrå on the opening night of the SHL campaign and walked away with five goals to one. The visitors took control early and never looked back. Timrå, sitting tenth in the table, found themselves chasing shadows against a side that needed to answer questions after their 0:7 defeat to Ferestad.

But Örebro weren't playing the same game.

We'd backed the home side at 44 per cent confidence. And here's the thing — the match didn't follow that logic. Örebro picked up from their worst result and found a rhythm Timrå couldn't match.

By then, the tie was beyond doubt. Both teams sit on zero points after one game, but the gap in performance tells its own story.

The result leaves Örebro looking to build momentum after that heavy defeat. Timrå will need to find their shape quickly. Five goals against an opening-night opponent isn't something you forget.
