Ljungskile SK (home)
- Ljungskile SK (12th) host IK Oddevold (10th) in a Superettan 2026 mid-table matchup on Saturday afternoon and it should be a tight, competitive game between two teams that are each looking to climb the table with a win.

IK Oddevold (away)
- Rikard Nilsson has been in the Oddevold job since 1 January 2020 and he has developed a club that plays a compact 3-4-3 system.
- Oddevold are disciplined and can hold their own in any area of the field, but their game is to stifle the opposition and counter attack quickly.

Betting Insights
- Odds are different for Ljungskile and Oddevold but the visitors are slightly ahead.
- IK Oddevold are the marginal favorites at 2.6, but Ljungskile are not far behind at 2.45.
- The draw is worth a look in this derby matchup.
- Under 2.5 goals is a solid alternative as these two teams are hardly high scorers and the 0-0 head-to-head from five weeks' prior is an attractive option.
Prediction

- Oddevold look better equipped to avoid defeat in this encounter, but the derby atmosphere could make for a close battle.
