- Norrby form: Norrby IF have won two and drawn three of their last five Superettan 2026 matches.

- Norrby recent matches: Norrby have drawn their last two matches (2-2 at home to Östersunds FK and 0-0 away to IK Oddevold).
Bottom seven skirmish looks set to be cagey
Norrby IF stand 13th in Superettan 2026 with 19 points from 17 matches, while Örebro SK are 14th with 15 from 17, so this Monday's game looks to be a bottom-half battle. Norrby are the slight favorites at 2.25 to Örebro's 2.95, with the draw at 3.45, but we'll side with the tie in what could be a game of patience and counter-attack.
Tobias Linderoth's side have built up a reputation for being a compact and narrow unit who set up with their wings narrow and their play very direct. They are not a big possession side and will set up to frustrate opponents while their fast players look to pounce on the counterattack. They don't score a huge amount, but have been hard to beat of late.
- Norrby's last two games were both draws, with a 2-2 result at home to Östersunds FK followed by a 0-0 away to IK Oddevold.
- Azeez Temitope Yusuf is Norrby's main man with five goals in 16 Superettan 2026 appearances and the Nigerian has bagged three in the last 5 games.
- They have gone 2-4-2 at home, so not a real fortress, but good enough to get results.
Örebro’s momentum seems to have gone
Tactical shape
Rikard Norling's men have a more structured 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 shape in which they build patiently and apply organised pressure, with a controlled tempo.
Form and stats
They come into this matchup on the back of a loss, draw and loss, and that doesn't feel like good momentum for any side. Their three previous games were a 2-0 away loss to Nordic United FC, followed by a 0-0 home draw with IK Oddevold and a 1-3 home defeat to IFK Värnamo, which doesn't look great.
Ahmed Yasin leads the scoring with four in 17 and he's a livewire if Örebro can play the ball into him properly.
Örebro are 1-3-4 away in the Superettan 2026, conceding 13 times in eight trips, so Norrby can get plenty of opportunities to counterattack if they keep their shape and line. Norrby have let in 12 goals in 8 home Superettan 2026 matches, so a goal average of 1.50, so staying compact will be vital.
The previous Superettan 2026 game between the clubs finished 1-1 at Örebro's ground and we think this could be equally tight. There is a case to be made for goals in this matchup with Over 2.5 at 1.85 and Both Teams To Score – Yes at 1.65.
But we'll take the draw in this encounter of two sides that know how to stay in games and will probably be looking over their shoulders.
