Prediction: IK Oddevold VS Trelleborgs FF 2025-06-28
The Great Swedish Showdown: IK Oddevold vs. Trelleborgs FF
Where the underdog’s got a 41% chance to shock the socks off the favorites… and maybe their socks are already missing key players.
The Stats, The Stumbles, and The Sarcasm
Trelleborgs FF (home team) is hosting this match with the swagger of a team that’s technically favored but missing Robin Book, Adrian Kebashi, and Alexander Johansson—three players who probably paid for their own jerseys. Their recent form? A mixed bag of “we almost had it” and “here’s another loss.” Meanwhile, IK Oddevold (the underdog) just handed Varberg a 2-1 loss, only for Kevin Nyarko to spoil the party with a last-minute goal. Classic drama.
Key Injuries/Updates:
- Trelleborgs FF: Missing three key players. If this were a Marvel movie, they’d be the team that lost their Iron Man, Thor, and Hulk.
- IK Oddevold: No major injuries reported, but their recent draw with Varberg proves they’re the kind of team that makes you question every “safe” bet.
Odds Breakdown (Because Math > Feelings)

Expected Value (EV) Calculations
- IK Oddevold:
- EV = (0.356 * 3.3) - (0.644 * 1) = +0.53
- Translation: Bet on the underdog and feel the sweet, sweet thrill of math.
- Trelleborgs FF:
- EV = (0.505 * 1.98) - (0.495 * 1) = +0.01
- Translation: A “safe” bet that’s barely worth the coffee you’ll spill while watching them fumble.
The Verdict: Bet on the Underdog, But With a Side of Sarcasm
Best Bet: IK Oddevold (+300)
- Why? Their 35.6% true win rate (vs. 30% implied) gives them the best EV. Plus, Trelleborgs FF is missing their A-team, and no one wants to bet on a squad that looks like it lost a Marvel casting call.
Spread/Total? Skip it. The Over 2.5 goals (-115) is tempting if you’re a masochist, but this match feels like a “1-0” or “2-1” nailbiter.
Final Thought
If you’re feeling lucky, go with IK Oddevold. If you’re feeling unlucky, bet on Trelleborgs FF and hope their missing players materialize via time travel. Either way, this is a match where the underdog’s got a better shot than your ex at winning your heart back.
