Öster form and stats

With 0 wins, 6 draws and 2 defeats from their home games, Öster are certainly not brimming with confidence. Öster are slowly digging their own grave here at Myresjöhus Arena with the depressing streak of not having won a home game in nine attempts. The last victory here came in the Malmö FF match. The trend of drawing games is also valid regardless of arena as Öster has four draws from their last four matches.

Öster drew their last game, also a home match. Varberg was the opponent, 1-1 the score. Before that, Öster drew at home versus Brommapojkarna.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Öster have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found five matches with the results: Won 0 Drawn 2 Lost 3.

Öster have scored 6 goals here in 8 matches, not a lot. Öster have conceded 8 in these home matches.

It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Öster in their previous outing. The Superettan match ended in a draw 1-1. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Jonkopings Sodra wasn't a success with a 1-3 loss.
