Every season the number 9 of the Virsliga plays a Playoff against the number 2 of the Superettan to determine who plays in the Virsliga the next season.

Season 1

Number 9 in the Virsliga: Thobbidz
Number 2 in the Superettan: Higglamu

First Leg: Higglamu vs Thobbidz

Higglamu start of fiercely and manage to score twice, just before and just after the break, twice giving a mental blow to the Thobbidz players. However Thobbidz gets courage as Simon Samuellsson, voted one of the best defenders in the Superettan that season, accidently makes an own goal. Thobbidz score a second one just before the final whistle and see their chances of staying up greatly increased.

Final Score: Higglamu 2-2 Thobbidz

Second Leg: Thobbidz vs Higglamu

The Thobbidz players start of fiercely, knowing that an early goal would almost make sure they win the playoff. It takes them 38 minutes however to break the deadlock and immediatly they are scored upon thereafter. Just before the break Higglamu does what it has been doing the whole season in the Superettan, countering very accurately. Thobbidz goes into the break as winners on away goals. During the second half Thobbidz has most of the possession and the fear of losing makes their attacks very weak. Higglamu isn't capable of keeping the ball long enough and isn't able to create any dangerous opportunities.

Final Score: Thobbidz 1-1 Higglamu

Aggregate Score: Thobbidz 3-3 Higglamu, Thobbidz wins on away goals and stays in the Virsliga.
