LiveScoresXThe most telling story in this Superettan fixture is GIF Sundsvall's inability to find the net. The visitors have failed to score in four of their last five matches, including three consecutive losses in which they were blanked — 0-1 at home to IFK Varnamo on 18 October, 0-4 at IFK Norrkoping on 13 October, and 0-1 at Sandviken on 3 October. Over their last 10 games across all venues, Sundsvall have gone scoreless in seven, and across 20 away games their record shows 12 failures to score. Their away record over those 20 games is 5 wins, 1 draw and 14 losses, with just 0.6 goals scored per game and 2.05 conceded.
Oddevold at home provide a reasonable backdrop. Their 20-game home record stands at 8 wins, 6 draws and 6 losses, with 1.4 goals scored per game and 1.25 conceded. In their last five matches they have scored in four of five, and their home record shows they have failed to score in only 4 of 20 home games. The head-to-head adds context: the only meeting within the last 12 months was at Sundsvall's ground on 2 May 2026, which Oddevold won 3-1. At Oddevold's ground there have been no recent meetings, so the venue record is thin and the older meetings — including a 1-0 Oddevold win and a 1-2 Sundsvall win — are historical only.
The counter-argument is that Oddevold's own form is not sparkling. They lost 1-3 away to Osters IF on 17 October and lost 1-2 at home to IFK Varnamo on 19 September. Their last five games yield 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses, and their current run is a single loss. Sundsvall's recent matches have also included some high-scoring affairs — 0-4, 3-2 and 0-4 — which could suggest the visitors' defence is porous enough to allow goals on either side.
Key Points:
- GIF Sundsvall have failed to score in 4 of their last 5 games and 7 of their last 10
- Sundsvall's 20-game away record: 5W 1D 14L, 0.6 goals scored per game
- Oddevold at home: 8W 6D 6L in 20 games, 1.4 goals scored per game
- The only recent head-to-head (2 May 2026) was an Oddevold 3-1 win
- Oddevold's form is mixed: 2W 1D 2L in the last 5
With Sundsvall's scoring drought so persistent and their away record so poor, I'm backing both teams not to score at 2.00.
