Team form
IF Karlstad II
IF Karlstad II currently sits in the 13th position on the table with 21 points from 21 games, having won 2, drawn 7, and lost 12. Their goal-scoring has been somewhat inconsistent, managing only 23 goals while conceding 41. Recent form showcases their struggles, with only one win in the last five matches — 2-0 against Lidköping. This victory marked a bright spot against an otherwise challenging run where they also suffered heavy defeats against Ahlafors (1-4) and Vänersborgs FK (2-3). They will need to leverage any positive momentum from that last game in order to raise their standings and morale.
Stenungsund
In contrast, Stenungsund stands at 8th place with 27 points from 21 fixtures — a solid return considering their total of 7 wins, 6 draws, and 8 losses. With a goal tally of 36 scored and 29 conceded, they maintain a more potent attack, averaging 1.71 goals per game, although their recent results have been mixed. Their last five matches have yielded a notable victory against Lidköping (6-0), which has undoubtedly solidified their confidence despite a consecutive loss to Husqvarna (1-3). General performance trends indicate they are stronger in attack compared to their hosts, which reflects well in the average stats.
Head-to-head
The two sides have met four times in total since 2020, with Stenungsund having an upper hand in recent encounters. They recently defeated IF Karlstad II 2-0 on May 3, 2026, tying into their earlier win against them (4-0) that showcased a dominant performance. However, Karlstad managed to secure a 3-2 victory against Stenungsund back in November 2021, providing a faint glimmer of hope and competitive spirit, despite being outplayed in more recent clashes.
Key factors
Stenungsund's offensive edge may prove to be the defining factor in this matchup. With a stable goals per game average and a high average of shots, they appear to be more aggressive in approaching goal. Karlstad II, on the other hand, struggles defensively, presenting an opportunity for Stenungsund to capitalize on any openings. For Karlstad, reducing concessions will be crucial if they hope to turn their luck around and steal points from this contest.
Prediction
Statistical models currently favor Stenungsund as the away side, reflecting their higher position, better average goals scored, and historical performances in head-to-head matches. Expectations are raised not only for a medium level output in goals but also for both teams finding the net during the game, considering the defensive weaknesses exhibited recently by Karlstad II.
Overall, the outlook suggests a likely victory for Stenungsund, which could help them maintain their mid-table aspirations while putting pressure on IF Karlstad II, who could struggle to reverse their fortunes in this challenging matchup.
