IK Oddevold are playing the better soccer and have been more productive this season, but our IK Oddevold vs Ostersunds FK preview highlights that they have failed to beat Ostersunds FK at home in their last home meeting, which suggests there may be a mental hurdle to overcome.
They are a set-piece team and will look to play their best soccer through a flexible back three, patient build-up, and quick transitions where their wing-backs provide the width.

Wiedesheim-Paul is Oddevold’s main scoring threat
Emir Derviskadic, who has three assists in Oddevold’s last five, is a creative spark while Rasmus Wiedesheim-Paul leads the line with 12 goals in 27 Superettan 2025 appearances. He has scored two of his last six for the club, which makes him a good pick to score at any time on Saturday.
Ostersunds FK are an odd team to try to analyse as new boss Kiarash Livani, who was appointed in 2025, has reverted to a more conventional 4-3-3 that attempts to control the central midfield and play on the break. It has worked well when they have been able to press the ball and suffocate opponents, but they have been all over the place when they have not and that has cost them goals.
The visiting team have had a mixed run of form with three wins and two defeats in their last five, the most recent being a 1-0 home victory over IK Brage three days ago.
