Östersunds FK will hope to utilise their home advantage to help bridge the gap to today’s opponents. The home side are currently 3 points behind Hammarby.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Östersunds FK form and stats
Östersunds FK's results here at Jämtkraft Arena in the Allsvenskan have been very modest with 2 victories, 4 draws and 6 defeats.
It's back home for Östersunds, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Sirius away with the result 3-2. Henrik Bellman and Blair Turgott (2) found the net in that victory. A strong away win before that one, visiting Nykoping and winning 4-2.
Östersunds goalkeeper Andrew Mills did an outstanding job against Sirius with seven saves, so vital to securing the victory. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of A. Azrafshan when Henrik Bellman scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 56th minute.
Östersunds aren't scoring a lot here at Jämtkraft Arena in the league, with only 11 goals from 12 games. On the other hand, Östersunds have conceded 16 goals.
Hammarby form and stats
5 wins, 2 draws and 5 losses. That’s the product of Hammarby playing as the away team in the Allsvenskan this season.
Hammarby had fun at their own home (Jämtkraft Arena) last time out, beating Mjallby 4-2. Tim Soderstrom, Gustav Ludwigson (2) and Arón Johannssón scored. A 1-1 draw was the result before that, hosting Djurgården.
As you can tell from the result, the match against Mjallby was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?
Hammarby are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 18 times in 12 away games so far. In the opposite end, Hammarby have conceded 21 goals in their away games.
