Match Prediction
Expected score: Skellefteå 4-1 Linkoping
SkellefteåDrawLinkoping
Skellefteå hosts Linkoping in SHL action on 14 November 2026, a matchup that pits the league's third-placed side against a struggling visitor fighting near the bottom of the standings. The hosts arrive as heavy favourites and will look to extend their winning record at home.
Team form
Skellefteå
Skellefteå have been in excellent form, winning four of their last five games across SHL and Champions League competition. They scored 22 goals and conceded just 10 across those five matches, averaging 4.4 goals for and 2.0 against per game. Their recent wins include a commanding 6-1 victory over Luleå and a 7-2 triumph against Brynas, both at home. A 3-0 defeat to Orebro on the road is their only blemish in this run, but they have bounced back impressively since. Sitting third in the league with 28 points from 13 games, Skellefteå are clearly one of the division's strongest performers.
Linkoping
Linkoping's season has been difficult. They have won just three of their 14 matches and sit 13th with 12 points, a significant gap behind the hosts. Over their last five games, they have managed only one victory—a 3-0 win at Vaxjo—while losing four times. Their defensive record is particularly concerning: they have conceded 19 goals in those five matches, an average of 3.8 per game. Recent losses include a 5-1 hammering at Djurgarden and a 9-2 defeat to Brynas at home, suggesting they are vulnerable against quality opposition.
Head-to-head
There is no head-to-head history available between these two sides in recent records.
Key factors
The gulf in form and league position is stark. Skellefteå's potent attack, averaging over four goals per game recently, faces a Linkoping defence that has shipped nearly four goals per outing. The hosts' home record has been strong, and they will be confident of a comfortable win. Linkoping's only bright spot—their win at Vaxjo—came on the road, but they will face a far tougher test here. Skellefteå's consistency and attacking prowess should prove decisive. For fantasy league players, the hosts' forwards offer excellent scoring potential, while Linkoping's defensive fragility makes them a risky proposition.
Prediction
Skellefteå are clear favourites given their superior league position, recent form, and the disparity in goals scored and conceded. The hosts have won convincingly at home multiple times this season and face a Linkoping side that has struggled defensively. The model expects Skellefteå to dominate and secure a comfortable victory.
Back Skellefteå to win. The hosts should prove too strong for a Linkoping side in poor form and leaking goals at an alarming rate. Expect a commanding performance from the third-placed side at home.
