IFK Norrkoping Results

The season has been tough for IFK Norrkoping, who are in 12th position with 15 points from 15 games. They haven’t been playing well lately, just getting two points from their last five games.

26/05/25ALLNorrkoping vs Mjallby1-1D

Norrkoping’s previous five games reveal that the team is having trouble getting into a winning groove; they have lost three and drawn two. They have only won one of their eight home games this season, which is not good. They have let in eight goals in their last five games, so it’s clear that their defense is weak. Christoffer Nyman has been a bright spot on offense, scoring 12 goals, although the club isn’t always consistent in attack. This means that they need to change their tactics to make the most of their home field advantage versus Varnamo.

Varnamo Results

Varnamo is at the bottom of the Allsvenskan with only seven points from 15 games, which shows how hard this season has been. But their recent 1-0 win over Djurgarden gives them some hope. The team’s away form is still a big problem; they only got one point from seven away games.

Varnamo’s first league win of the season against Djurgarden could be a turning point that boosts the team’s spirits. But their record on the road is terrible, with no victories and only one draw in seven games. The club has a hard time scoring on the road; they have only scored three goals in away games. Their defense was strong in the past game, which shows that they could get better, but facing Norrkoping’s offense will be a tough test. To get points, important players like Simon Thern will have to step up.

Key Factors to Watch in IFK Norrkoping vs Varnamo

There are a number of important factors that could affect the outcome of this Allsvenskan match. Injuries and recent form are only two of the problems that both teams are dealing with that could affect how well they play. When looking at the IFK Norrkoping vs. Varnamo forecast today, these are the most important things to think about:

  • Norrkoping’s Problems at Home: Norrkoping has only seven points from eight home games, even though they are the home team. This shows that they are weak at Platinumcars Arena;
  • Varnamo’s Problems on the Road: Varnamo has only one point from seven away games, which shows how hard it is for them to play well on the road;
  • Christoffer Nyman’s Form: The Norrkoping striker has scored 12 goals in 16 games, so he is always a threat in the final third;
  • Varnamo’s recent win over Djurgarden, which they won 1-0, could improve their confidence and make them play better;
  • Injuries to Norrkoping’s Team: Not having important players like Bolma and Mitov Nilsson may make their defense weaker;
  • Simon Thern’s Impact: Varnamo’s midfielder has scored two goals this season and could be key to dominating the midfield;
  • Norrkoping’s Defensive Problems: They have given up eight goals in their previous five games, which shows that their defense isn’t very strong and Varnamo could take advantage of it;

Free Tips on IFK Norrkoping vs Varnamo

These betting recommendations are exclusive to the IFK Norrkoping vs. Varnamo match and focus on things that could affect the outcome in a unique way. Based on patterns in statistics and how teams work together, the following advice gives more information about possible betting opportunities. Keep these things in mind when you make choices for the July 21, 2025, fight:

  • Bet on Both Teams to Score: Norrkoping has had trouble on defense lately (they’ve let up eight goals in five games), while Varnamo has been scoring a lot lately. In their previous five meetings against each other, both teams scored in three of them.
  • Think about Under 2.5 Goals: Norrkoping is good at attacking, but Varnamo doesn’t score many goals (3 in 7 away games) and Norrkoping’s home form isn’t very good (7 points in 8 games). This could mean a low-scoring game.
  • Nyman to Score at Any Time: Christoffer Nyman has scored 12 goals in 16 games, therefore he is a good candidate to score, especially against Varnamo’s weak defense away from home.
  • Double Chance (Norrkoping Win or Draw): Norrkoping is unlikely to lose this match because they have the home field advantage and have beaten Varnamo 4 times in 5 encounters.
  • First Half Draw: Varnamo plays defensively when they are away from home, while Norrkoping has had poor starts at home (they haven’t scored in the first half of three of their previous five home games). This makes it seem like the first half will be cautious.
  • Over 9.5 Corner Kicks: Both sides average 5 to 6 corners per game. Because Norrkoping plays an offensive style and Varnamo threatens to counterattack, you should expect a lot of corners.

IFK Norrkoping vs Varnamo Match Prediction 2025

The IFK Norrkoping vs Varnamo odds favor the home side due to their superior league position, historical dominance, and Varnamo’s abysmal away record. Norrkoping’s home form isn’t always good, but it’s still better than Varnamo’s, which has had trouble scoring and winning on the road. Christoffer Nyman’s ability to score goals (12 in 16 games) is a big deal because Varnamo’s defense has been weak on the road, giving up an average of 2.1 goals per game. Varnamo’s recent 1-0 win over Djurgarden shows that they can bounce back, and their counter-attacking style could take advantage of Norrkoping’s weak defense, which has let in eight goals in their last five games. Varnamo might also be hopeful because several of Norrkoping’s best players, including Bolma and Mitov Nilsson, won’t be playing. However, Norrkoping hasn’t scored many goals on the road (3 in 7 games), so they aren’t as dangerous. The game will probably be close, but Norrkoping’s home field advantage and attacking edge will give them the edge. It looks like the hosts will win by a little margin, but Varnamo’s new confidence could keep the score close. Because Varnamo plays defense well and Norrkoping doesn’t always finish well, you may expect a close game with few goals.
