No love lost between these sides
There is no historic rivalry between IK and Utsiktens BK, but both sides will be desperate for the win to climb away from the drop zone in this Monday night's IK Brage Borlange vs Utsiktens BK prediction Superettan 2025 six-pointer. Both sides have won 2 and drawn 1 of the last 5 head-to-head games, the last of which finished goalless at Brage's ground in Superettan 2024.
Brage have been poor at home in 2025, but their 2-0 away win over GIF Sundsvall in the most recent round of IK Brage Borlange vs Utsiktens BK prediction Superettan 2025 fixtures was a real confidence booster. Janne Mian has led IK Brage since January 2024 and has instilled a high-tempo, pressing game plan with players trying to win the ball back high up the pitch and transition quickly, especially down the flanks.
His opposite number, Bosko Orovic, has been in charge at Utsiktens BK since December 2019, so he knows his side well and sets them up in a more balanced and structured way. Utsiktens BK will look to be solid and organized as a unit, but with the ability to take their chances when they get them on the break.

Utsikten’s Johanasson has been on a purple patch
IK aren’t prolific goalscorers, but Marinus Larsen leads the way with 2 in 8 and is the focal point of Brage’s attack. Cesar Weilid is the creative engine in midfield, providing 3 assists in 9 and creating chances consistently from wide areas.
The visitors have the form to suggest that they can at least keep Brage at bay in this clash of aggressive pressing vs solid structure and IK Brage Borlange vs Utsiktens BK prediction.
Utsiktens’ Alexander Johansson has been on a hot streak with 4 goals in his last 9 Superettan appearances and 3 of his team’s last 10 league goals, so Brage’s high line will have to be wary of the speedy forward. For fans looking for IK Brage Borlange vs Utsiktens BK betting tips, Johansson’s form is a key factor.
Utsiktens have won 1, drawn 1 and lost 2 of their 4 Superettan 2025 away games, conceding an average of 1.75 goals per game, while Brage have failed to win in 4 home matches.
Brage’s home struggles and Brage’s statistical advantage
The bookmakers make IK Brage Borlange the favorites at 1.87, with Utsiktens BK available at 3.75 and the draw at 3.50. I will go against the grain here and back Utsiktens BK to at least avoid defeat as the double chance market offers great value, even if I think Brage can eventually get the better of the visitors in what could be a cagey draw and a tough IK Brage Borlange vs Utsiktens BK prediction.
There is a good chance this will be a midfield chess match between two sides that play very differently, so ‘Under 2.5 Goals’ looks a good play for the value bettors among you.
