Oddevold’s style is possession, pass and probe
Manager and trajectory
IK Oddevold have had an average start to the Superettan season but their last two games will have boosted confidence enormously after a 3-3 away draw with Nordic United FC and a 2-4 home loss to Varbergs BoIS FC.
Oddevold are a settled club that have been on a positive trajectory since Rikard Nilsson took over in January 2020.
Playing style, recent form and odds
They like to play patient possession football, with lots of short passes and overloading out wide, but they have had a mixed form of late with 1 win, 2 draws and 2 losses in their last 5. They are the favorites at 1.68, with the draw coming in at 3.85 and Norrby at 4.4, which is the sort of odds that the bookies put on a team with a great record against a team that has not won any of the last 3 meetings.
Norrby will try to bite Oddevold
Norrby IF have played with more bite and clarity since Tobias Linderoth took over in January 2025. They are a direct 4-4-2 team that will look to pounce on any transition play or second balls. Norrby have won 2, drawn 1 and lost 2 of their last 5 games, so they arrive on the back of a two-game win streak while Oddevold have just 1 win from their last 5.
The table says this is a close mid-table clash, but Oddevold just edge it, although Norrby are in the better form so this may be a challenging game, rather than an easy bet. Oddevold or draw on the double chance market looks the smart bet with both teams carrying enough of an attacking threat to have goals in them.
Shahin has an eye for goal
Oddevold have 2 wins, 3 draws and 3 defeats from 8 home games in the Superettan 2026, scoring 1.50 goals per game and conceding the same average. Norrby IF have 1 win, 5 draws and 2 defeats from 8 away games, scoring 1.12 goals and conceding 1.38 per game.
- Leonardo Shahin is Oddevold's sharpest finisher and has 9 goals in 15 games, while Azeez Temitope Yusuf has 4 in 15 for Norrby and has scored 2 of the visitors' last 4 goals in their 5-game run.
- Norrby have not beaten Oddevold in the last 3 matches, a streak they are still looking to end at this venue.
