The Örebro Black Knights (1-0) host the Limhamn Griffins (1-1) at Behrn Arena this weekend, with both teams aiming to solidify their standing in the Swedish Superserien’s early 2025 season.

Örebro’s ground-game dominance
The Black Knights stomped the Kristianstad Predators 49-7 in Week 1, fueled by a relentless rushing attack. RB Jakub Brezina bulldozed for 128 yards and 2 TDs, while RB Filip Jönsson added 71 yards and another score. QB Viktor Ekberg managed the game efficiently, throwing for 86 yards and 1 TD. Örebro’s defense shone, forcing three turnovers and holding Kristianstad to 7 points.

Limhamn’s rollercoaster start
The Griffins were blanked 42-0 by the Stockholm Mean Machines in Week 1 but rebounded with a gritty 16-14 win over Kristianstad. QB Samuel Jämthammar struggled against Stockholm’s elite defense but orchestrated a late game-winning drive in Week 2. RB Alexander Nesic will need to challenge Örebro’s physical front seven to keep pressure off Jämthammar.

Key matchup: Griffins’ run defense vs. Örebro’s backfield
Limhamn’s defense, shredded for 174 rushing yards by Stockholm, faces Örebro’s thunderous duo of Brezina and Jönsson. The Griffins tightened up in Week 2, allowing just 14 points—a trend they’ll need to sustain to contain the Black Knights’ ground assault.

Stakes at Behrn Arena
Örebro seeks to cement its status as a West Conference contender, while Limhamn aims to prove its Week 2 resilience wasn’t a fluke. Can Jämthammar silence the home crowd with a composed performance, or will Örebro’s physicality and defensive prowess dominate again?
