Two struggling sides square off in Sweden
Two out-of-form teams clash in Sweden on Monday when IK Oddevold, from the Swedish second-tier, travel to Orebro to play Örebro SK in a game where the visitors are favourites. Örebro SK have won just 2 and drawn 2 of their 7 Superettan 2026 home games, while IK Oddevold have lost just 2 of their 7 road games in the same competition. Örebro have lost 3 of their last 5, drawing the other 2, while Oddevold have won 1, drawn 2 and lost 2 in their past 5 games.
The hosts, who have scored just six times in seven home matches this season, lost their most recent game 2-0 away to Nordic United FC yesterday, and have lost their past two games.
Visitors have the extra cutting edge
Tactics
Rikard Norling has set up Örebro SK in a solid 3-5-2/5-3-2 system in which they dictate play and press selectively. They're a functional unit, but don't offer enough of a cutting edge to really score enough goals. Oddevold, by contrast, play a more direct, high-tempo game, focusing on wide play, crosses and attacking set pieces.
Key players
- Rikard Nilsson's side have 9-goal Leonardo Shahin to give them a real edge up front, whereas Örebro's only real standout in attack is Ahmed Yasin who has scored 4 times in 15 games, while Christopher Redenstrand has 4 assists.
Match outlook
The head-to-head history looks promising for the visitors, who won the same fixture 4-1 two months ago, and they are the only team in this matchup with a consistent winner's mentality. Oddevold's away stats are better than Örebro's home numbers and, while I wouldn't rule out a sneaky draw if Örebro keep it tight, Oddevold are the most likely winners here.
However, another angle to take is IK Oddevold to score first, as they are fast starters and can be the more patient of the two when it suits them, which will suit them against Örebro's compact but fragile structure.
IK Oddevold are favorites at 2.24, with Örebro at 2.93 and the draw at 3.4.
