Three things you did not know about handball
Gold favorite?
Form:
Series winner Sävehof has a hysterical form.
12 wins in 14 matches and only one loss (against Önnered).
In the final rounds, the Partille team tensed its muscles by winning against both league runners-up Ystad and table three Malmö.
Ystad is in doubtful form with only two victories in the last six matches.
Malmö has three victories in six matches, including against Ystad.
Seen over the entire basic series, only two points differed between the three top teams.
Historical:
Since Kristianstad abdicated from the throne in 2019, when Sävehof broke the Scanians' dominance and took the Swedish Championship gold, the men's handball league has become much smoother and more uncertain.
Otherwise, a dominant team in Sweden has often subscribed to several Swedish Championship signs in a row.
Kristianstad, Sävehof, Hammarby and Redbergslid.
