Boden finished the regular season as 5th with 26 points, with 13 wins and 9 losses, while Hoors was just slightly ahead of them in 4th with 28 points, with 14 wins and 8 losses. They split 2 H2H meetings in the regular season, with each side winning at home as Boden won by 11 and Hoors won by 2 goals. Hoors opened this series winning game 1 by 3 goals at home in a back-and-forth game in which they scored the final 3 goals to secure the win and the series lead. However, Boden was excellent at home all season long, winning 8 of 11 games, while Hoors lost 7 of their 11 road games. The first game showed these two are relatively evenly matched, as the #4 and #5 seeds usually are, so home-floor advantage will be big in this series, and then got to fancy Boden to ride their crowd backing them and stay close or in front throughout the whole game.

Savehof was 1st in the regular season, finishing 21 points above Skuru, who finished 8th. Savehof won 10 of 11 home games, while Skuru lost 11 of their last 15 games. Savehof won both of their H2H meetings by 11 and by 3 goals. They also won their last 3 H2H league meetings at home, all by at least a 9-goal margin, so got to like Savehof to win this one as well.

Savehof is the #1 seed in these playoffs after finishing top of the league with 38 points, on 19 wins and just 3 losses, while Skuru barely got into the playoffs, finishing 8th with 17 points on an 8-1-13 record. Savehof won 10 of 11 home games, only losing by 1 goal to 2nd-placed Onnereds, while their 10 home wins came by an average of 7.6 goals difference. On the other side, Skuru had a rather poor end to the season, losing 11 of their last 15 games. Savehof won both of their head-to-head meetings this season, by 11 goals at home and by 3 goals on the road. They also won their last 3 home head-to-head meetings, all by at least a 9-goal margin, so got to expect the much stronger Savehof to dominate game 1 of the series and win convincingly at home.

Woking is 11th with 53 points while Altrincham is 15th with 47 points. Woking is in very good form, being 4-3-1 in their last 8 games, with their lone loss coming by a minimal score at 2nd-placed York. On the other side, Altrincham has been picking up points regularly at home while being awful on the road, with a 3-4-13 record, and all 3 of those wins came against bottom-6 sides. Woking is undefeated in their last 5 home games with 4 wins, and they won the last 2 head-to-head meetings against Altrincham, while they also hold a strong historical record against them at home, with a 7-2-2 record, so got to give the edge to the hosts here and back Woking to win.
