The visiting Elfsborg side should be favourites in this visit to Östersunds FK, as the away team holds a 12 point advantage from their 13 league games this season.
It's no vacation for neither Östersunds nor Elfsborg as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Östersunds FK form and stats
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Allsvenskan this season. Östersunds FK have only managed 0 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses from their games here at Jämtkraft Arena. The trend of drawing games is also valid regardless of arena as Östersunds FK has five draws from their last five matches. Their last two home games have resulted in two points, meaning they were both draws.
Östersunds FK shared the glory with IFK Göteborg in their last match, an away game that ended all square 2-2. 1-1 away at Varberg BoIS before that.
The Östersunds goalkeeper Aly Keita was crucial in the match against IFK Göteborg last time out, making seven saves.
There will be little rest for Östersunds after this match as they are travelling to AIK for a Allsvenskan game in only four days.
The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Östersunds here at Jämtkraft Arena in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (5 from 6 games). Östersunds FK have conceded 11 from these games.
Elfsborg form and stats
Elfsborg's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed Elfsborg, who have the most points (14) away in Allsvenskan, collect 14 points from their 7 away matches in the Allsvenskan. 4 victories and 2 draws have created these points (and only 1 defeat). It could be a hat trick of victories away for Elfsborg, as they have won on their previous two travels.
Two travels in a row for Elfsborg, whose manager J. Thelin could celebrate last time after the Allsvenskan win against AIK. A 3-3 draw was the result before that, hosting Sirius.
After this away game Elfsborg return home for a Allsvenskan game against Falkenberg. That game is only four sleeps after this.
Elfsborg are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 11 times in 7 away games so far. Elfsborg have conceded 9 goals in these away matches.
