Ljungskile looking for revenge
Ljungskile SK and Sandvikens IF are level on 19 points in Superettan 2026, with Ljungskile 11th and Sandvikens 10th, but it is the hosts who come into this Sunday's clash on a much better streak, going unbeaten in their last 5 (W2, D3).
Their two wins came in their most recent pair, a 3-2 home success against Örebro and a 3-2 away win from behind at IFK Värnamo. The fact that Joakim Jensen has maintained their identity since taking over in August 2024, with quick transitions and flank overloads is a big positive for the hosts.
Sandvikens should have enough to make it a close game
Odds and head-to-head
The 3.25 on Sandvikens here is a little tempting given that the head-to-head advantage lies with the visitors, who beat Ljungskile 1-0 at home in Superettan 2026 two months ago.
Form and key players
However, Thomas Roell's side are on a bit of a roll, albeit with mixed results, and don't look like a side that will take home the win.
- Sandvikens have won just 1, drawn 2 and lost 4 of their 7 road games in the second tier in 2026, with their most recent away game ending in a 3-0 defeat at IFK Norrköping.
- They do have the striker in form, however, with Christian Wagner netting 12 goals in 15 games in 2026.
- Ljungskile's Alex Rasheed is their focal point, having scored 3 times in 5 games and they have been solid going forward under Jensen with 10 goals in 7 home games in 2026.
Tight affair can still have goals
Ljungskile will be the slight favorites at 2.0 here and the 3.85 draw will probably be too big, but the head-to-head edge makes this a tough call.
Backing over 2.5 goals at 1.55 looks the best way to play this game, as Sandvikens do enough to keep things interesting while Ljungskile will nick a goal or two. It'll be close but the home field advantage, Ljungskile's positive momentum and Rasheed's influence should see them through for a close but significant win.
