- IFK Norrkoping have won 4 and drawn 1 of their last 5 matches.
- Ostersunds FK have drawn their last two games 1-1 away from home.
- Ostersunds FK have scored 11 goals in 5 home matches in Superettan 2026.
Ostersunds FK are building a fortress
Ostersunds FK are currently in mid-table obscurity in 7th place after collecting 19 points from their 12 Superettan 2026 games to date, although both of their most recent games have been away from home and they've proven tough to beat at home this season. Our Ostersunds FK vs IFK Norrkoping prediction for the Jämtkraft Arena clash reflects this growing resilience at home.
Nemanja Miljanovic has rebuilt this Ostersunds FK squad over the winter around his 3-5-2 system, which utilises the pace and energy of his two wingbacks to overload the flanks and build from the back. The hosts are yet to lose at home in Superettan 2026, winning 3 and drawing 2 of their 5 matches at the Jämtkraft Arena.
Their home results have made Ostersunds FK very difficult to beat, but Miljanovic's men have drawn their last 2 games and appear unable to convert chances into wins. Their star man is attacking midfielder Amar Begic, who has scored 4 goals in 12 games in the Swedish second tier this season, but this fixture will see Miljanovic's structured 3-5-2 come up against an opposition manager with an equally exciting and innovative system.
Norrkoping to spring a surprise
Eldar Abdulic has overseen a huge upturn in IFK Norrkoping's fortunes, and his active 4-3-3, which relies on a high press and quick vertical play, follows back-to-back away wins and a recent 2-0 home victory. The Ostersunds FK vs IFK Norrkoping preview highlights how Norrkoping's momentum and form make them favourites for the win on Sunday, although Ostersunds FK are a tough opponent and can cause them problems in this fixture. Norrkoping have won 4, drawn 1 and lost 2 of their 7 away games in Superettan 2026, and this run of 2 wins and 1 draw from their last 3 trips away gives us confidence to back the visitors to take all 3 points at 2.57.
A tale of two talismans
The hosts and visitors are both talented teams with talismanic players in attack. Norrkoping's Tim Prica has scored 7 times in 12 games in the Superettan 2026, while Ostersunds FK's Amar Begic has scored 4 goals in 12 Superettan 2026 games.
Noel Sernelius is a different type of player to Prica, a creative engine who has provided 7 assists in the same amount of games as his fellow Norrkoping forward, a run which includes a direct involvement in 3 of Norrkoping's last 8 goals. The Swedes score an average of 1.29 goals per game away from home and concede only 0.71, and with an average of 2.20 goals scored at home, a goal-filled game is on the cards on Sunday.
