Visby/Roma — MODO Hockey, Hockey Allsvenskan

Modo Hockey beat Visby/Roma 4:0 in the Hockey Allsvenskan on Thursday evening. The visitors took control early and never let the hosts back into the game. Visby/Roma now sit 14th on the table after six games with a win and five defeats.

The visitors made it difficult from the first period. They were clinical in front of goal and Visby/Roma's defence switched off at the back. By then the visitors had already drawn 2:1 and 3:2 in their previous outings, so they knew how to close out a game.

We had tipped an away win before kick-off at 69 per cent confidence. The result confirmed the assessment — Modo were the sharper side and Visby/Roma simply could not find their rhythm. To be fair, the hosts had lost four of their last five without a clean sheet.

Modo move up to fifth place after four wins and two losses from six matches. They have not dropped a point yet, though the table shows 0 points recorded for both sides. The gap between the two teams was visible on the ice.

The visitors now look comfortable in the upper half of the table. Visby/Roma have nothing to lose and will need a turnaround if they want to climb out of the bottom three.
