The Limhamn Griffins (1-3) host the winless Copenhagen Towers (0-5) on Saturday, May 24, at Hästhagens IP in a Swedish Superserien clash where both teams seek pivotal momentum amid contrasting seasons.
Griffins’ playoff push
With a two-week rest advantage, Limhamn aims to stabilize their playoff hopes. Quarterbacks Isak Lundqvist (213 yards, 1 TD in 4 games) and Samuel Jämthammar (243 yards, 2 TDs in 3 games) have combined for 8 interceptions, undermining an offense reliant on receiver Gustav Björkman (12 catches, 124 yards, 1 TD) and rusher Adrian Pourlotfi (30 yards). The Griffins’ defense must exploit Copenhagen’s quarterback instability to offset their own offensive inconsistencies.

Towers’ desperate bid
Copenhagen’s disastrous season hinges on reversing offensive struggles. QBs Ben Finkel (282 yards, 2 TDs, 5 INTs) and Oscar Hauerberg Ahle (178 yards, 2 TDs, 5 INTs) have thrown 10 combined interceptions, though receiver Martin Due (125 yards, 1 TD) and rushers Mathias Mazanti (292 yards, 2 TDs) and Tristan Lebeau (140 yards) offer fleeting bright spots.
Key matchup: Ground game vs. aerial risks
Copenhagen’s rushing duo, Mazanti and Lebeau, could exploit Limhamn’s weak run defense (Pourlotfi’s 30 yards reflects their own ground struggles). Conversely, the Griffins’ secondary must capitalize on the Towers’ interception-prone passing to fuel short-field opportunities.
Outlook: Survival of the disciplined
Limhamn’s home edge and marginally steadier defense make them favorites, but Copenhagen’s rushing firepower and desperation could disrupt their rhythm. Expect an interception-heavy battle where the team minimizing self-inflicted errors escapes with a critical win.
