- Home form: Ljungskile SK have won only 1 of their last 2 home matches.

Ostersunds’ odds are too good
Ostersunds FK currently sit 5th in Superettan 2026, having collected 18 points from 11 matches so far, while newly promoted Ljungskile SK lie 13th after amassing only 11 points from their first 11 matches. Ostersunds FK's odds of 2.79 for the away win in this game look very generous, considering they're currently in much better form than their hosts and have the additional advantage of recent major league pedigree.
After their 3-2 home win against Oerebro and a draw away to Nordic United FC, Ostersunds FK have now won 3, drawn 1 and lost only 1 of their last 5 Superettan matches, while Ljungskile SK have won 2, drawn 1 and lost 2 of theirs. Ljungskile SK were beaten in consecutive matches prior to their away draw today, while Ostersunds FK's good recent form suggests they can take advantage of Ljungskile SK's current uncertainty.
Ostersunds possess more attacking quality
Attacking threats
With 3 goals in 11 appearances in the Superettan this season, Lukas Lindholm Corner has been Ljungskile SK's most useful attacking player so far in the season, while Amar Begic has netted 4 times in 11 appearances at the same level for Ostersunds FK, so the visitors clearly have the more reliable player up top.
Tactical battle
Ljungskile SK are a compact, low-block outfit, while Ostersunds FK have more of a possession based identity, so this should be an interesting tactical chess match. Ostersunds FK do have the quality and tactical identity to break through, however, so we're expecting the visitors to win the match on Sunday.
Ostersunds FK can make their mark
While Ljungskile SK's style is to limit space and hit on the break or from set-piece situations, Ostersunds FK have a 4-2-3-1 system which allows them to overload the wide areas and press the ball aggressively on their side of the pitch.
Joakim Jensen has overseen a period of boardroom uncertainty and a change of coach since taking charge of Ljungskile SK, so it's hard to know exactly what the squad believes they're trying to achieve. Nemanja Miljanovic has overseen a more consistent period at Ostersunds FK, however, and the squad seem much more comfortable in their identity as a possession-based unit.
- Ljungskile SK have won 2 and lost 3 of their 5 home matches in the Superettan 2026 season, scoring 1.20 goals per game and conceding an average of 1.40 goals.
- Ostersunds FK have won 2, drawn 1 and lost 3 of their 6 away matches in the current Superettan campaign, averaging 1.33 goals per match on the road, so we're supporting the away team to emerge victorious on Sunday.
