Östersunds FK form and stats

Östersunds FK's struggle is real here at Jämtkraft Arena with only 10 points collected from 12 Allsvenskan games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 3-1-8. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Östersunds FK, their manager A. Azrafshan and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.

In their previous game, the manager A. Azrafshan led his Östersunds FK to a defeat in the Allsvenskan match away at Hammarby. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Jämtkraft Arena. Did Östersunds get overconfident in their match against Hammarby? We'll let you decide, but they did lose a 2-0 lead to end up with a 3-4 defeat. As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today? Östersunds FK's goalkeeper Aly Keita was extremely busy against Hammarby, saving the team from a uglier defeat with a stunning six saves. Heartbreak for Östersunds FK in their last match as Hammarby's A. Amoo scored the winning goal deep into overtime. The striker Malcolm Stolt bettered all the other footballers in that fixture and managed a match rating of 7.43 out of 10. Stolt signed up for two assists and hit two key passes.

Before that game, the home loss against Malmö FF with the scoreline 0-3.

There will be little rest for Östersunds FK after this match as they are travelling to Varberg BoIS for a Allsvenskan game in only three days.

Östersunds are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 17 goals in 12 games. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Östersunds FK defense is not exactly impregnable. 19 goals conceded from 12 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
