Svea Rehnberg is Norrkoping’s big threat

In the reverse fixture from just four months ago, Kristianstad thumped Norrkoping 4-1 in the Damallsvenskan 2025. Johanna Almgren has done an excellent job since being appointed as manager in January 2024, instilling discipline and a possession-based 4-3-3 system that plays on the width of the field and controls the tempo of games.
Norrkoping are far more pragmatic, opting for a 4-2-3-1 that gets the ball forward quickly and is built around aggressive pressing and exploiting transitions. The Kristianstads DFF (W) vs IFK Norrkoping (W) preview will surely focus on how Stellan Karlsson, who only took the helm in January 2025, has clearly impressed his squad and they are playing some of their best football of the season right now.
