A home win is expected from this fixture if the league table is anything to judge by. The Öster fans are optimistic that the difference between 4th and Jönköpings Södra's 12th place in the table will show on the pitch.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
Öster form and stats
Seven points from three Superettan home games is a great start for Öster, who are hoping to build on that form here at Myresjöhus Arena.
Öster manager D. Velic and his team return home after a 1-1 draw away versus Dalkurd (placed 11th) in the Superettan. Previous to that game, a home match hosting Orgryte in a game that was won 2-0.
This is expected to be a close game, with Öster perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Öster as a small favourite), we find four games. Öster has won zero of these, drawn two and lost two.
Öster has scored 4 league goals at home this season, in 3 matches. Defensively Öster have been outstanding, conceding less than half a goal on average per home game in the league (1 in 3 games). For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

No Superettan points yet away for Jönköpings Södra, from their first 3 matches. The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on A. Brännström, the Jönköpings manager, as the last three away games were defeats.
Home advantage was not enough for Jönköpings Södra in their previous game, as they lost their Superettan-match, hosting Degerfors, 0-1. Preceding that game, the 2-3 loss visiting AFC Eskilstuna's place.
