IFK Norrkoping have the tools to win
Form & momentum
IFK Norrkoping have the better goalscorer, playmaker, momentum and odds in this Superettan 2026 Sunday matchup with Norrby IF, who arrive in a rut of three straight defeats. IFK are 3rd in Superettan 2026, with 23 points from 12 matches. Eldar Abdulic's team have been in winning form since the beginning of May, when they adopted a new high-energy, possession-based style.
Manager & tactics
Abdulic joined IFK in January 2026 and has done a great job since, particularly in the second half of the season. He has the attacking weapons, structure, and the team discipline to go up to the Allsvenskan.
Home form
IFK Norrkoping have won their last two home matches without conceding a goal (2-0 vs Varbergs BoIS FC).
Norrby situation
Norrby IF are languishing in 14th, with only 10 points from 12 Superettan 2026 fixtures so far. Tobias Linderoth has created a team who are well structured in their 4-4-2, but he has had his task cut out this season, trying to get a team of young players with potential to grind out enough results to avoid relegation. Linderoth joined Norrby in January 2025 and has been focused on building a compact, defensive, ball-prolific squad who can play smart football and exploit space on the break.
- Tim Prica is Norrkoping's main goalscorer with 7 Superettan goals in 12 matches, including 3 in the last 5.
- Meanwhile, Noel Sernelius is their main playmaker with 7 Superettan assists in 12, including 3 in the most recent 5-game unbeaten run.
- Jamie Bichis is Norrby's main threat, with 5 goals in the Superettan 2026, including 3 in the last 5.
- Ture Spendler is their most creative player, providing 3 assists in Norrby's last 5 games.
Norrby IF will be tough, but will crack under IFK pressure
This is a clash of two teams with very different mindsets and philosophies. One will play proactively and try to dominate the ball, while the other will set up and be compact, waiting for space to break on the counter-attack.
IFK Norrkoping are playing the better football, have the momentum, and are the strong favorites. Norrby IF have lost their most recent 3 Superettan games, including a 0-2 loss to IK Oddevold at home and a 2-0 defeat away to Varbergs BoIS FC.
'Over 2.5 goals' looks a very solid bet at 1.45 for a side who have scored plenty lately, against a leaky Norrby defence. IFK Norrkoping are strong enough to win another home game here.
