Match Analysis
IFK Norrkoping host GIF Sundsvall at Idrottsparken in Superettan, Regular Season - 26. Kick-off is scheduled for Tuesday 13 October 2026 at 17:00 UTC.
Form Guide
IFK Norrkoping — All Games: 8W 2D 0L from 10 Superettan outings this season, averaging 2.60 points per game. Last five: W D W D W. They are averaging 2.20 goals per game — a high-scoring output that makes them a genuine attacking threat in any fixture. Defensively, conceding just 0.60 per game is an exceptional defensive record — one of the tightest in the division. 5 clean sheets from 10 games (50%) is a standout defensive return — they are keeping their net clean in more than half their matches. This season is still relatively young for IFK Norrkoping, so this record blends games from this season and last.
IFK Norrkoping's form when playing at home: 6W 3D 1L across 10 games at Idrottsparken this term (2.10 PPG). At home they are averaging 1.70 goals scored and 0.50 conceded per game. 6 clean sheets from 10 home games (60%) — they are an exceptionally hard side to score against at Idrottsparken. At home, both teams have scored in only 30% of games — reinforcing BTTS No as the home-venue-backed angle. Somewhat surprisingly, their home PPG of 2.10 lags behind their overall 2.60 — the home advantage has not translated into superior results at Idrottsparken this season.
Looking at all fixtures this season, GIF Sundsvall stand at 3W 1D 6L from 10 Superettan matches — 1.00 PPG. Last five: W W L L W. Their scoring rate of 0.70 per game is modest, conceding 1.90 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings suggests some defensive organisation. Both teams have scored in just 30% of their games, reflecting a regular tendency to keep or record clean sheets. This season is still relatively young for GIF Sundsvall, so this record blends games from this season and last.
GIF Sundsvall away from home this season: 2W 0D 8L from 10 away games — 0.60 PPG on the road. Away from home they average 0.50 goals scored and 2.10 conceded per game. Away from home, both teams have scored in only 20% of games — a low rate that backs BTTS No when they travel.
IFK Norrkoping are in the better shape of the two on current Superettan data — 1.60 PPG ahead (2.60 vs 1.00). That form margin is the baseline of a sensible selection even before other signals are layered in.
On the goals front, neither side scores or concedes freely enough to make BTTS Yes the call. IFK Norrkoping's 30% rate and GIF Sundsvall's 20% (using home/away splits) both sit well below average — BTTS No is the form-backed angle.
Head to Head
IFK Norrkoping hold a clear advantage in this fixture, picking up 3 wins from 3 previous encounters compared to 0 for GIF Sundsvall, with 0 draws in between.
The 3 previous encounters between these sides have been high-scoring affairs — 4.7 goals per contest on average. Historical precedent backs the Over 2.5 goals market. The most recent clash, on 9 May 2026, ended 3–1 with IFK Norrkoping winning.
From a betting standpoint, the H2H backs both IFK Norrkoping and goals. The home side's 3 wins from 3 meetings, combined with an average of 4.7 goals per game, gives the home win and Over 2.5 combination a historically grounded case.
In-Play Data
IFK Norrkoping trading profile (55 games, 27 at home): they score before half-time in 70% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 73% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 60% of those occasions; BTTS occurs in 41% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 56% of games (home games).
GIF Sundsvall trading profile (55 games, 27 at away): they score before half-time in 70% of fixtures in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 88% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 56% of those occasions; BTTS occurs in 37% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 48% of games (away games); they fail to score in 34% of games.
BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — IFK Norrkoping 49% versus GIF Sundsvall 49%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (IFK Norrkoping 53% | GIF Sundsvall 53%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects IFK Norrkoping 1.92 xG and GIF Sundsvall 0.63 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: IFK Norrkoping attack 1.082 / defence 0.784 | GIF Sundsvall attack 0.597 / defence 1.337. League average goals — home 1.329 / away 1.347. GIF Sundsvall bring a strong defensive rating of 1.337 — this is suppressing IFK Norrkoping's projected output below what their attack strength alone would suggest. IFK Norrkoping's defence rating of 0.784 is below average — the home backline is amplifying the visitor's projected output. Data: 25 IFK Norrkoping games / 55 GIF Sundsvall games used (CurrentSeason).
Result probabilities: IFK Norrkoping 67% | Draw 23% | GIF Sundsvall 10%. Fair-value odds: IFK Norrkoping 1.49 | Draw 4.35 | GIF Sundsvall 10.00. The model has a clear lean to IFK Norrkoping (67%) — a 57pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 47% | BTTS probability 41% | Total xG 2.55. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 47%/53% — the total xG of 2.55 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS probability of 41% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.
Our Verdict
Poisson rates IFK Norrkoping as the most likely outcome at 67% — clear model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw No Bet is worth pricing alongside the outright: 23% draw probability makes the stalemate a live outcome even at this conviction level.
The Poisson model projects 2.55 xG in total — Under 2.5 at 47% — Poisson-only — limited corroboration confidence — though H2H averaging only 4.7 goals per meeting points in the other direction.
On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 41% on No. Form rates corroborate: IFK Norrkoping 30% | GIF Sundsvall 20% BTTS from recent games.

📝 Match Report
How It Unfolded
IFK Norrkoping beat GIF Sundsvall 4-0 at Idrottsparken, Regular Season - 26, in the Superettan. With the result on the board, the sections below measure it against everything the model and the numbers projected in advance.
The Model vs The Result
The Poisson model went into this projecting IFK Norrkoping 1.92 xG and GIF Sundsvall 0.63 xG, a combined 2.55. The scoreboard read 4-0 for 4 actual goals. IFK Norrkoping beat their projection by 2.1 — clinical relative to the chances the model priced in.

On the result, the model split it IFK Norrkoping 67% | Draw 23% | GIF Sundsvall 10%, with IFK Norrkoping to win its most likely call at 67%. That is exactly how it finished — the model's leading outcome was vindicated.
Goals & Markets

On both teams to score, the model sat at 41% and the match did not — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 53% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (IFK Norrkoping 53%, GIF Sundsvall 53%), a base rate that agreed with today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 49%, which matched the one-sided outcome.
Trading Patterns vs Reality
IFK Norrkoping's trading profile (55 games, 27 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 49% of their matches — today it did not.
GIF Sundsvall's trading profile (55 games, 27 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 49% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 34% of games, a blank that repeated today.

GIF Sundsvall (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 0.81 scoring average — below par going forward and shipped 4 against a 1.59 concession average — a leakier day than usual.
Verdict
Grading the result against the stored data, 3 of 4 pre-match signals came in: result (hit), Over 2.5 (miss), BTTS (hit), form (hit). The model got the gist right while missing on the margins.
