Falkenberg vs Norrkoping prediction 05.05.2026 | Superettan

Falkenberg are part of Superettan for the last three seasons. They were excellent last season, but failed to sneak into the promotion zone. This season, Falkenberg have an ambitious team that opened the campaign with an impressive eight points in the first four matches. In the previous game, Falkenberg won 1-0 at home against Sundsvall. The teams were pretty even that time, but the hosts did just enough to pick up all three points. Now, Falkenberg will try to continue their excellent form against one of the top Superettan teams.

Falkenberg's head coach, Christoffer Andersson, was very pleased with the first half against Sundvall. He said, "It was a wonderfully comfortable victory. We wanted three points and gave ourselves the opportunity to do so through a good start to the match. In the first half, we controlled the match completely."

The biggest Falkenberg's strength is their defense. They conceded only four goals in four matches. With a well-organized defense, maybe even promotion is not far away.

After a terrible last season and relegation from Allsvenskan, Norrkoping are hoping to return to the strongest domestic league. They should be one of the best teams in Superettan. Norrkoping opened the campaign with two victories, but followed with two unexpected defeats. In the most recent outing, Eldar Abdulic's team lost 3-1 at home against Landskrona. The hosts were big favorites to win, but their terrible defensive performance left Norrkoping empty-handed. Now, Abdulic's team will travel to Falkenberg for another tough test.

Expectedly, Norrkoping's head coach, Eldar Abdulic, was disappointed with the previous game and defeat against Landskrona. He said, "We tried, but we weren't quite enough. It feels bitter and difficult."

Norrkoping conceded five goals in the last two matches. They have obvious defensive issues and will have to do much better if they want to fulfill their goals for the season and return to Allsvenskan.
