The ladies' basketball is underway and SVT expert Elisabeth Egnell believes that Alvik will win gold and that Högsbo will be the main challenger.
-
Högsbo has regained large parts of the team and will have a head start from the start.
Even a well-coached Luleå, who knows how to win, and a star-studded A3 Umeå can challenge.
Which team is getting tough this year?
-
Helsingborg.
Getting in as a newcomer is always difficult.
As a team, you have become accustomed to winning matches, which can be difficult to handle, and it usually takes a few rounds before you have had time to adapt to a higher tempo and more physical play.
Which team surprises?
-
Södertälje and Norrköping are two teams that have the capacity to disrupt the top teams.
Uppsala, which has been at the bottom of the table for a few years, could also challenge for a play-off place.
Which players are you looking forward to seeing?
-
As usual, there are some high-class imports in the league, but the most exciting are the returning players that we have not seen in a few years.
For example, the Luleå duo Josefin Vesterberg and Ellen Nyström, Amanda Kantzy in Södertälje, Linnea Rosendahl, Umeå and Evelyn Ovner who will have a big role in Wetterbygden, says Elisabeth Egnell.
