LIVESTREAM Sweden PPV: Örebro Black Knights @ Carlstad Crusaders, May 26, 15:00 CET (3 pm, 9 am EDT)

The Örebro Black Knights (2-3) are in need of a win Sunday, May 26 when they travel to Karlstad to face the league-leading Carlstad Crusaders (6-0) as the Swedish Superserien begins to wind down.

The last time these two teams met was in 2023 with Örebro coming away with an 8-0 win.

With only two games left in the regular season for Örebro, they have as yet not secured a playoff spot. Although they earned their second win of the season last week in beating the Kristianstad Predators 38-2, they still find themselves in a precarious position. They lost 47-29 the week before to the visiting Tyresö Royal Crowns.  That loss was their first game since suffering an upset 31-23 loss to the Limhamn Griffins over a month befofe. They had opened the season by dropping a 39-18 decision to the Stockholm Mean Machines but then got their first win when they beat Norway’s Oslo Vikings 31-19.

Theoretically, if they lose their last two games, both the Oslo Vikings and Limhamn Griffins would have a chance to pass them in the standings.

For Carlstad, the situation is different. They secured first place heading into the playoffs when they defeated the Stockholm Mean Machines last week 21-7 leaving them undefeated with one game to go. The Crusaders whipped the Kristianstad Predators 42-6 to open the season and then got by the Tyresö Royal Crowns 24-21. A month ago they manhandled the Oslo Vikings whipping them 41-6 at home and followed that up with a 42-0 throttling of AIK Stockholm. Two weeks ago, they dominated the Limhamn Griffins 52-21.

Although the Crusaders are playing excellent football right now, they are facing a team with its back against the wall.
