Skive secured a 36-32 victory over Skanderborg in a club friendly match played on 4 August 2026. The away side completed their run through the fixture with a comfortable margin, adding to a run of positive results that has not been seen since their last defeat.
Skanderborg have struggled for consistency in recent months. They lost 31-35 and 29-30 against Aalborg in consecutive appearances in June and May, before finding some rhythm with back-to-back wins against GOG. Their most recent outing ended 28-31 against Holstebro TTH, suggesting they have not won since that mid-May double-header.
By contrast, Skive have been in fine form. They beat Holstebro TTH 34-30 in late July, and before that enjoyed five straight victories in March. That included a 41-34 triumph over HK Copenhagen and a 36-27 win against Vendsyssel. Things came to a head at Skanderborg, where the visitors proved too strong.
The final scoreline does not tell the full story of a match that required concentration from both sides. Skive ground out the win in the closing stages, while Skanderborg gave away too many cheap fouls in the final period. To be fair, the home side made it competitive for much of the contest.
The result extends Skive's momentum heading into the new season. A fourth straight win in all competitions would put them on an encouraging trajectory, though this was a friendly and the table means little at this stage of the year.
