VARBERG, Sweden (Interstat) — Varberg will look to build on a dominant midweek performance when they host Orgryte on Monday in a Superettan Week 7 contest at Varberg Energi Arena.

The home side enters the match following a 5-2 victory over Tvååker on Thursday, April 23, a result that snapped a two-game losing streak. In that stretch, Varberg fell 5-0 to GAIS on Wednesday and lost 2-1 to lower-division side Varbergs GIF on Saturday, April 18. Sandwiched between those defeats were two wins on Tuesday, April 21: a 2-1 decision over Falkenberg and a 1-0 shutout of Astrio.

Varberg’s form has been erratic, but the club has shown it can score in bunches, netting five in their most recent outing. The defense, however, remains a concern after allowing five goals to GAIS and two to a non-league opponent.

Orgryte, meanwhile, have not played a competitive match since Nov. 8, 2025, when they drew 1-1 with GIF Sundsvall. The long layoff could pose a challenge for the visitors as they open their 2026 Superettan campaign. Orgryte’s preparation has been limited to preseason friendlies, the details of which were not immediately available.

According to Interstat’s game simulator, the match is projected to end in a 1-1 draw. The same service’s ELO system gives Varberg a 58.4% probability of winning, suggesting a slight edge for the hosts.

Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. local time. The match marks the first meeting between the two sides this season. Varberg will aim to climb the Superettan table with a second straight win, while Orgryte will try to start their campaign with a positive result on the road.
