Bodens BK suffered a heavy 51:22 defeat to Bodens Handboll IF in the Swedish Cup on 17 August 2026. The visitors, who sit first in the table with three wins from three games, went on to hand the hosts a drubbing. The result extended the gap between the sides—Bodens BK have been finding life difficult against stronger opposition.
This was not a new story between the pair. The last time they met, back in August 2024, Bodens BK also went down 18:40. Since then they have lost 21:51 to Skuru and 17:45 to Skövde, while the visitors have been collecting wins against H65 Höör and Nordvestjyllands. The pattern has not shifted.
Bodens Handboll IF arrive in the cup with momentum and a perfect record. They have won all three of their league fixtures so far, taking six points from six available. Their recent results show they can score freely—34:31 and 30:33 against H65 Höör in March, and 24:37 away to Nordvestjyllands in August. They looked comfortable here too.
Bodens BK have not had the same run. Their last five results include four defeats and one draw, with only a 25:31 win over Örebro Handboll in 2022 offering a bright spot. They switched off at the back in this cup tie and found themselves 29 goals adrift. The away end never stopped, but the scoreboard told the full story.
The league table now shows Bodens Handboll IF four points clear at the top. Bodens BK sit somewhere in the lower half after a mixed start, but this cup exit will do nothing to improve their standing. The visitors move on, untroubled by a result that hardly needed commenting on.
