Today's opponents have played two preparation games against each other and Lugi won on both occasions. Lugi conceded 26 goals in each of the two games. It is really hard to find a way in which the home team would achieve more at the start of the league, when the approach to defense greater. Lugi's coach Axner clearly announced that his team will play brutal defense. They want to show, from the start, that there is no coincedence that they want the title. They have a total of four defensive specialists, one of which is Magnus Jernemyr. He is an experienced Swedish national team member who arrived from Barcelona this Summer. Defense should definitely be stronger with him, than it was last season when Malmo scored 19 and 14 goals in their home games against Lugi. Compared to those matches, Malmo lost Eriksson, Skram and Thynell over the Summer. These three players created most of the problems for Lugi's defense. In their first match against Drott, the home team showed that they will play more towards the pivot Pecikoza in this season. However, that will hardly work today against a compact 6-0 defense. They scored 29 goals against Drott, a team that plays one of the fastest and most offense oriented handball in the league. Lugi is completely opposite and it is unreal to expect that it won't be seen on the result.
It should also be noted that Malmo had a lot more transfers over the Summer, while Lugi's squad remained almost the same and teamwork should be on their side. Details

When a team play a blinder, score 38 goals, moan about their weak counterattacks and want and even faster tempo at the opening of the season then you know how offensively orientated they are. That is exactly the case with Skovde, who added left wingman Kallman (from Atletico Madrid) and right backcourt Kristian Svensson (Lubbecke) against Savehof, who are a completely different team than last year.
The away team lost a lot in defence, they lost their first goalkeeper Forsberg, frist pivot Nielsen who was also the key man in defence and Tonnesen and Bliznac who were the main scorers and also very important half players. The absence of the latter two is a twofold problem: they left a hole in the defence, and also Savehod lost two great scorers. It is known that Skovde is the best counterattacking team in the league. Thynnell replaced Bliznac, but it will be a tougher task on the right side. Savehof brough younger and faster players to replace the bigger ones that left. It is evident that they are planning for the future, and that they want to speed up their game. Speed and and not playing like a team don't go together well, and first goalkeeper Johannesson has admitted a day before the match that they are not playing as a team yet. Against Skovde they will probably play a 5-1 with Kallman in front, which could lead to a lot of mistakes and simple goals for the home team.Skovde has in the last four games scored over 30 goals, scored 38 against the reigning champion Drott and I dont' think that the defensively weaker Savehof will prevent the home team from going over the margin. I think that they will also play in the higher tempo because they have a young team, so the total over doesn't seem like a bad bet. Details
