ArlandaCounter-attacks & crossesAnna Karlsson · · A data-driven preview · How the predictions work
51%—that's the probability model's lean towards FBK Karlstad claiming victory over FC Arlanda. This numerical edge is substantial, supported by a balanced physicality in Karlstad's playstyle, which often grinds down opposition tactics. FBK Karlstad's strength is further underscored by their tighter defense, conceding a mere 0.61 expected goals against per match, well below what FC Arlanda allows at 1.3. This doesn't bode well for Arlanda, who rely on counterattacks and crossing—approaches likely to be stifled by Karlstad’s defensive resilience.
FC Arlanda, despite their spirited play, trail behind both in points and expected points. They have managed to bag a total of 30 points, but their expected points sit at 23.6, suggesting they may have overperformed relative to their performances. In contrast, FBK Karlstad's expected points (27.1) are more closely aligned with their actual tally of 36, hinting at a team that delivers on its potential. These discrepancies hint at FC Arlanda's vulnerability, especially when the match intensifies.
It’s worth noting that these teams have met three times since 2023, a small sample size which slightly tempers its predictive value. Yet, within this limited head-to-head, FC Arlanda has only managed to seize victory once, with FBK Karlstad claiming the other two encounters. While past encounters paint a picture, it's the current form, tactical setup, and statistical edge that truly frame the narrative.
The model suggests a 12% probability for a 1-1 draw, but given the xG numbers, a 1-2 scoreline in favor of FBK Karlstad feels more plausible. The over 2.5 goals market, leaning at 54%, aligns with this potential outcome, making it a reasonable consideration, especially since both teams have a 56% likelihood to find the net.
With the numbers in mind, the sharpest angle here is backing FBK Karlstad at odds of 1.95 with Bet365. This price captures the model's 51% probability edge and reflects value for those looking to capitalize on the statistical lean towards the visitors.

The model gives Arlanda a 37% win probability. Full 1X2 picture: Arlanda 37%, draw 25%, FBK Karlstad 37%.
The model's most likely final score is 1-1 at 11% probability.
The model rates over 2.5 goals at 59% and under at 41%.
The probability of both teams scoring is 62% according to the model.
The same rules as the bookmakers’ builders: legs that contradict or already follow from your slip cannot be combined — for example correct score 2–1 with under 2.5 goals. The difference is that we don’t look the rules up in a table; we compute them straight from the score matrix.
