Aranas is currently last 12th, with 8 points sitting 1 point below 11th place, which leads to relegation playoffs, as a last-place finish leads to automatic relegation ahead of this final round of the season. On the other side, Kristianstad is 10th with 13 points, having secured their stay and unable to reach the playoffs, so they have nothing to play for here. Aranas won 7 of their 8 points at home, and they have won 2 of their last 3 home games, beating the 7th- and 4th-placed teams. Conversely, Kristianstad have been playing like a team with nothing to play for of late as they lost their last 6 games and their last 5 road games. Aranas beat them here last season, and they drew at Kristianstad earlier this season, where the hosts scored 2 late goals to avoid losing at home, so with Aranas playing motivated to avoid automatic relegation and the visitors having nothing to play for, simply got to like Aranas to win.

Kungvals is next-to-last 11th with just 9 points, while Onnereds is 2nd with 30 points heading into this last round. Kungvals sits just 1 point above last place, which leads to automatic relegation, while next-to-last place leads to a playoff to stay up, so they need to win here, as last-placed Aranas plays at home against a team who is right in front of Kungvals and has nothing to play for. Kungvals won 3 of their last 5 home games and the last 2, while Onnereds lost 3 of their last 4 road games, including the last 2, and have playoffs to look for, which could see them take this game slightly easier. Kungvals lost by 3 goals at Onnereds in their first H2H match of the season, and in the last 4 home H2H meetings against them, Kungvals has 1 win and 3 losses, which came by 6, 4 and 6 goals, so got to feel like the hosts will look to make this a cagey, low-scoring game that should be tight, which plus this huge head start makes them the side to be on.

Skovde went over this total in 4 of their last 6 games, including the last 2, while Hallby went over this total in 13 of their last 17 games. They went over this total in 4 of the last 5 H2H meetings, which averaged a very high 63 goals per game. Skovde secured their spot in the playoffs, while Hallby didn't and has nothing to play for in this last round, which should lead to a bit looser defenses, as hosts will look to avoid any injuries ahead of the playoffs, while visitors will look to finish the season without any bruises, so got to expect a free-flowing, high-scoring game that should result in an over.
