Mjolby vs Västervik IK: match preview on 11 September 2026

# Västervik IK to extend winning streak over Mjolby

, carrying momentum from four victories in five matches against a side that has lost four of their last five outings. The visitors won the previous encounter 2:1 on 21 August, and form suggests they will do so again.

The visitors have been in sharp form at home, winning 5:2 against Boro Vetlanda Hc and 4:3 against Tranas before a 3:1 away victory over Troja/Ljungby. Their only defeat in the last five came 1:3 away to Vimmerby HC. Mjolby's recent record tells a different story entirely. They have lost four of their last five matches, including a heavy 1:4 defeat away to Vita Hästen on 9 September. Their sole win in that span was a 2:1 home victory over Vita Hästen back in September 2024.

Head-to-head advantage

The August meeting at Västervik IK’s ground ended 2:1. They conceded consistently. Their away record in friendlies has been poor, with defeats to Vita Hästen, Västervik, Borås and Nyköping. Only the home win against Vita Hästen in 2024 stands out from that run.

Both sides are active in the friendly circuit during this pre-season window, but the gap in results is clear. Västervik IK lead the goal tally 15-10.

What could change the picture

A draw would suit Västervik IK's approach to friendlies, where results often matter less than testing combinations. If the visitors prioritise experimentation over winning, or if Mjolby's defence organises better than in recent outings, the outcome could shift.
