Expected score: HV 71 2-3 Timrå
HV 71 travel to face Timrå in SHL action on 14 November 2026, a matchup between two teams heading in opposite directions. The hosts sit eighth in the standings with 18 points from 13 games, while HV 71 occupy 14th with just 10 points from the same number of fixtures. This contest carries weight for both sides: Timrå seek consistency after a recent wobble, while HV 71 need to arrest a concerning defensive slide.
Team form
HV 71
Timrå's recent record is mixed. Three consecutive SHL defeats—against Brynas (0-1), Orebro (1-5), and Linkoping (2-3)—have interrupted their season. However, two club-friendly victories in early September, including a 4-3 win over Luleå, suggest attacking capability when conditions align. Across their last five outings, Timrå have scored 2.4 goals per game while conceding 2.8, indicating a side that can generate offence but remains vulnerable at the back.
Timrå
HV 71 are in freefall. One win in their last five games—a 3-2 home victory over Brynas on 10 October—masks a dire underlying picture. They have lost to Frölunda (2-6), Luleå (2-5), Rögle (3-4), and Farjestad (1-3), conceding 4.0 goals per game over this stretch. The 2-6 hammering by Frölunda and 2-5 defeat at Luleå expose systemic defensive problems. Scoring 2.2 goals per game shows they retain some attacking threat, but their leaky defence is the defining issue.
Head-to-head
No head-to-head record exists between these teams in the available data, so this fixture offers no historical pattern to guide analysis.
Key factors
The statistical picture favours Timrå. HV 71's defensive fragility—conceding 4.0 per game in recent form—is the central concern. Timrå, despite their own defensive vulnerabilities, have conceded 2.8 per game, a meaningful gap. HV 71's sole recent win came at home; on the road, they have lost all four of their last away fixtures. Timrå's home record in this sample is 1-3 in SHL play, but that includes a shutout win over Brynas, suggesting they can tighten when required. The visitors' attacking output of 2.2 per game will struggle to overcome Timrå's defensive structure, while Timrå's 2.4-goal average should find opportunities against a leaking HV 71 backline.
Prediction
Timrå emerge as the favourite, though not decisively so. The model calculates a 58.7 per cent probability of an away win, reflecting Timrå's superior defensive record and HV 71's alarming form away from home. HV 71's home record is marginally better, but they remain fundamentally fragile. Timrå's recent SHL losses are concerning, yet their ability to score—demonstrated in the friendly wins—and HV 71's inability to defend suggest the hosts will edge this contest. The predicted regulation-time score of 2-3 reflects Timrå's slight edge in both offensive and defensive metrics.
Timrå are the more likely winner. Back them to secure victory in what should be a relatively open affair, with both teams capable of scoring but the visitors' defensive solidity and HV 71's leaky backline proving the decisive factor.
