Falkenbergs FF
- Falkenbergs FF are set to take on GIF Sundsvall in an early-season Superettan 2026 marker game on Saturday, as both sides look to demonstrate the progress that they’ve made in the offseason.
- Falkenbergs FF have started the campaign well, sitting 5th with 5 points from their opening 3 games.
- Falkenbergs FF have won two, drawn two and lost just one of their last five games in all competitions and the 2-2 draw away to Norrby IF, as well as their 2-1 success away to Landskrona Bois last time out, indicate their solidity and quality.
GIF Sundsvall
- GIF, currently 13th in the Superettan 2026 standings with 3 points from their first 3 games, will likely find it difficult to get the ball into the net at Falkenbergs FF, who are solid on the defensive and effective on the counter-attack.
- Sundsvall have won just one of their last 5 matches (W1, D1, L3), and they’re coming into this game on the back of back-to-back defeats (1-2 at home to IK Brage Borlange, and 3-0 away to IFK Varnamo).
- Sundsvall have failed to win in their 2 most recent away games (D1, L1), and it’s difficult to see them securing a victory at a ground where they have never won against Falkenbergs FF (D1, L1).

- Falkenbergs FF are unbeaten at home this season (1 draw and 0 defeats).
- Falkenbergs FF are undefeated in their last 2 games against GIF Sundsvall (1 win and 1 draw).
