Final, gentlemen

The law

Villa Lidköping

won the basic series and Christoffer Edlund won the shooting league with an incomparable 72 goals.

The semifinal series was not as straightforward.

After corona infection, Villa could finally advance after two straight victories.

Jesper Eriksson pushed, just like last year, the team to the final.

AIK

beat the reigning champion Edsbyn in the semifinals.

In the decisive match, Russian star Alan Dzhusoev scored a hat trick.

Otherwise, Erik Pettersson is AIK's clearly the leading scorer with 77 points (51 + 26) in the basic series.

Mutual meetings

Double victories for Villa in the basic series: 7-2 and 5-3.

Five of the goals in the matches were scored by the elite series' points king Christoffer Edlund.

Expert Svenne Olsson:

It speaks for AIK: -

AIK has some of the world's best players in Erik Pettersson, Andreas Bergwall, Alan Dzhusoev and Johan Esplund.

If they have their day, together with a good collective in general, it can decide.

That speaks for Villa Lidköping:

- Villa has consistently been the best all season.

The team has an evenness, an oiled game and incredibly good team dynamics.

You have done everything right.

Then of course they have Christoffer Edlund, Erik Säfström and Martin Johansson who are on the same level as the AIK players I mentioned.

But also some terribly upcoming players, like Joel broberg and Martin karlsson.

Tip:

-I believe in 3-3 and sudden.

A real battle and islet walk.

I see two teams that are very careful in the offensive and defensive.

It is completely smooth in advance.

Hatmatch?

AIK invested heavily ahead of the season with spectacular new acquisitions.

Among others Daniel Andersson and Johan Esplund from Villa.

An extra spice for the final if you can believe Villas Jesper Eriksson.

-

It should be a little hate, it's good for bandy, says the 37-year-old.

SVT Sports expert Svenne Olsson: - The players have had iconic status in Villa and it has been a bit media between the clubs.

It has been built on a feeling between the teams.

I do not think the players disagree, but it is a tickling match.

Anyone who says anything else is lying, says Olsson.

Corona delay

Svenne Olsson: - Many have had covid in Villa and it has been difficult with the recovery.

No optimal charging.

But AIK has had a break for almost two weeks.

It's not good either, for example for match tempo.

History

AIK plays the first Swedish Championship final in 90 years.

Villa took their first gold in 2019 and play the third straight final.

Villa can become the first club since Boltic in 1985 to become champions on the men's and women's side.

- I think it means a lot to Villa.

With its history.

AIK has very many players who have won the Swedish Championships and the World Cup.

It is not news for very many to play the final.
