This match has been long awaited by club members of both sides, as it's the first Allsvenskan Play-offs game of the season. Both Öster and Varberg BoIS are aiming for a good start to their season.

Varberg BoIS could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Allsvenskan game only four sleeps ago. That game, against Sirius, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Varberg BoIS.

Öster form and stats

It's the first season at a new level for Öster as they were promoted from Superettan last season. Happy days that were secured through 13 wins, 9 draws and 8 losses from 30 games. The team scored 26 goals at home last season and conceded 19. It will be interesting to see how they perform at this level.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Öster have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 10 matches with the results: Won 5, drawn 2 and lost 3.

The manager Tufegdzic will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Varberg BoIS in only three days.

Varberg BoIS form and stats

The last season was not a pleasant experience for Varberg BoIS as they could not accumulate enough points to survive. After only 8 victories from 30 games, relegation was a fact. Varberg BoIS's manager Persson are hoping to lead the team right back to Allsvenskan at the first attempt.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 8 similar matches played by Varberg BoIS in our archives, and the results are: 4 wins for Varberg, 2 draws and 2 defeats.

A quick return to home after this game, as Varberg BoIS are hosting Öster in the Allsvenskan Play-offs only three days away.

Head 2 Head

Varberg BoIS have managed a sequence of 4 consecutive matches without defeat (1-3-0) when facing Öster.
