Stress levels are on the rise for Östersunds's attacking players as they have now played 182 minutes without scoring in a league game. S. Kroon was their last goal scorer.

The Östersunds fans got no joy from their last match, a Allsvenskan game also here at Jämtkraft Arena: A 0-1 defeat against Halmstad (placed 9th). Aly Keita, who guards the goal, was given a match rating of 8.71 out of 10 in that game. Keita stopped the opponent with nine saves. Aly Keita had a busy but productive day in the Halmstad match. Despite making nine saves the loss could not be prevented. The defeat against Halmstad was especially painful as the deciding goal against was scored four minutes into stoppage time (by N. Sonko-Sundberg (own goal)).

A defeat was the result before that one, 0-3 away at Elfsborg.
