Wimmerby HK and Nybro met in a club friendly match on 1 September 2026, with the visitors taking a 4:3 victory. The result came just five days after Nybro recorded a 9:2 win against the same opponents. No further details of the match were available.
By then the pattern was clear. Nybro had already beaten Wimmerby HK comprehensively in their most recent encounter. This time they ground out the win in a tighter contest, though even a narrow margin was enough to extend their momentum against the hosts.
Nybro arrived in good form. Their last five results included three wins and two losses, with the 9:2 victory over Wimmerby HK standing out. They had also beaten Karlskrona 5:1 in August before that, suggesting they were finding their rhythm ahead of the new season.
Wimmerby HK's recent record was less consistent. They had won two and lost three of their last five matches, with the 2:9 defeat to Nybro a particularly heavy result. A 3:1 victory over Västervik showed they could compete, but this friendly did little to erase that earlier embarrassment.
The 4:3 scoreline tells part of the story. Nybro kept finding ways to score, while Wimmerby HK dug in but could not hold on. For the hosts, it was a reminder of how far they still have to go.
