Home team Eskilstuna Smederna took a convincing 54-36 victory against Målilla Dackarna to make them favourites to retain their Swedish national championships and take their third title in a row.
Gleb Chugunov (pictured) was on blistering form again for Smederna scoring a 15 point maximum, whilst Piotr Pawlicki had a nightmare match for Dackarna scoring 0.
Dackarna will need to win by 19 points at home tomorrow in Målilla to prevent Smederna being crowned champions and need their top Polish trio of Maciej Janowski, Piotr Pawlicki and Patryk Dudek to all score double figures and see their B riders score over six each if they are to have a chance of overturning tonight’s result.
