Östersunds FK are welcoming IFK Göteborg for another important game after their 0-4 result against 11th-placed Varberg.

Insights:
  • Östersunds FK has the fewest scored goals (27) in Allsvenskan

Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting IFK Göteborg have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artifical turf is 4-7-6 (win-draw-loss) from 17 matches.

Östersunds FK are staying put; they can neither be promoted or relegated this season and are fighting only for positions. Göteborg are fighting to avoid relegation and will work hard for points.

Östersunds FK form and stats

With 2 Allsvenskan wins, 4 draws and 8 defeats from their home games, Östersunds FK, who have the fewest scored goals (27) in Allsvenskan, are certainly not brimming with confidence. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Östersunds with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Sirius game, 42 days ago, have they avoided a loss. Game days at Jämtkraft Arena have recently become somewhat of a nightmare for Östersunds as they have lost three home games in a row. It hurts.

Östersunds's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-4 versus Varberg (placed 11th). Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Häcken (1-2).

As you see from the result above, Östersunds FK suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one.

Östersunds have scored 12 league goals here from 14 matches, not a lot. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 23 goals have been conceded.
