Full Analysis

Domnarvsvallen plays host to IK brage versus IFK Varnamo in Superettan, Regular Season - 13. Kick-off: Sunday 21 June 2026 at 13:00 UTC.

Form & Momentum

IK brage have collected 1.20 PPG across 10 Superettan outings this season: 4W 0D 6L. Last five: L L W W W. Offensively they are averaging 1.70 goals per game, with 2.10 conceded. However, 2.10 goals conceded per game is a concern — opposing attacks have exploited them regularly. Both teams have scored in 70% of their games — a high BTTS rate that carries real weight in the goals markets.

IK brage at Domnarvsvallen this season: 5W 1D 4L from 10 home games — 1.60 PPG on home soil. They are averaging 2.30 goals per home game — a prolific scoring rate in front of their own fans. Both teams have scored in 90% of their home games — an outstanding BTTS rate that is a key data point for this fixture.

IFK Varnamo's overall Superettan record this term: 3W 6D 1L from 10 games (1.50 PPG). Last five: L W D D W. Their scoring rate of 1.00 per game is modest, conceding 0.70 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. Defensively, 0.70 goals conceded per game is elite-level — a side this difficult to score against is a real threat to Over 2.5 and BTTS Yes. 5 clean sheets from 10 games (50%) is an exceptional defensive record — they are keeping clean sheets more often than not. IFK Varnamo haven't played a Superettan game yet this season, so this record is entirely from last season.

On the road, IFK Varnamo have gone 1W 6D 3L from 10 away fixtures this term (0.90 PPG). Away from home they average 0.70 goals scored and 1.00 conceded per game. Their away PPG of 0.90 is notably below their overall 1.50 — form away from home has been a clear weakness this season.

Neither side holds a meaningful form edge. The 1.20 vs 1.50 PPG split is negligible — model and market signals should carry more analytical weight for this one.

H2H History

Form and model data should carry more weight here — the historical record is too balanced to provide a directional steer. From 2 meetings: IK brage 1W, IFK Varnamo 1W, 0D.

The 2 previous meetings have averaged 2.5 goals per game — a neutral rate that provides no strong lean on the goals market from the H2H alone. The most recent clash, on 20 Nov 2021, ended 3–1 with IK brage winning.

The head-to-head offers no strong directional steer in either the result or goals markets. Form, the predictive model and current market pricing should carry more weight than the historical record for this fixture.

Trading Data

IK brage goal-timing and half-time pattern breakdown (32 games, 16 at home): they score before half-time in 94% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 100% of the time; when trailing at the break they recover to draw or win in 25% of cases; BTTS occurs in 81% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 75% of games (home games); Over 3.5 in 47%.

IFK Varnamo goal-timing and half-time pattern breakdown (32 games, 16 at away): they score before half-time in 69% of fixtures in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 62% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 50% of those occasions; BTTS occurs in 44% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 31% of games (away games); they fail to score in 31% of games.

BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — IK brage 69% versus IFK Varnamo 47%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (IK brage 66% | IFK Varnamo 41%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects IK brage 2.62 xG and IFK Varnamo 1.49 xG. These expected goals figures are the primary input: they feed a goal-probability matrix across all scoreline combinations to derive the result and market probabilities below. Underlying strength ratings: IK brage attack 1.159 / defence 1.325 | IFK Varnamo attack 0.796 / defence 1.602. League average goals — home 1.412 / away 1.415. IFK Varnamo bring a strong defensive rating of 1.602 — this is suppressing IK brage's projected output below what their attack strength alone would suggest. Data: 42 IK brage games / 12 IFK Varnamo games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: IK brage 62% | Draw 18% | IFK Varnamo 20%. Fair-value odds: IK brage 1.61 | Draw 5.56 | IFK Varnamo 5.00. The model has a clear lean to IK brage (62%) — a 42pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 78% | BTTS probability 72% | Total xG 4.12. Over 2.5 is the model's clear signal at 78% — a total xG of 4.12 means the expected score alone exceeds the 2.5 threshold, making the Over not just likely but structurally supported by both sides' attack/defence profiles. BTTS Yes at 72% reflects that both xG figures (2.62 / 1.49) are above the threshold where scoring blanks become the primary outcome — both sides are projected to find the net.

Picks & Verdict

On the Poisson output, IK brage are the pick at 62% — clear model lean. Draw No Bet is worth pricing alongside the outright: 18% draw probability makes the stalemate a live outcome even at this conviction level.

The Poisson model projects 4.12 xG in total — Over 2.5 at 78% — reasonable confidence, supported by form averaging 3.0 goals per game.

Poisson assigns a 72% probability to BTTS Yes based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates corroborate: IK brage 90% | IFK Varnamo 50% BTTS from recent games.
