Ostersunds Preview – Can Ostersunds turn a corner?
A welcome and desperately needed 1-0 win away from home at AIK during the week not only handed Ostersunds a precious three points but it also ended a miserable sequence of seven league matches without a win in the Allsvenskan.
Ostersunds had previously suffered defeats to Malmo and Elfsborg but had also been picking up points in five draws with Hacken, Djurgarden, Helsingborg, Varberg and Goteborg which, along with the AIK win, has helped lift Ostersunds up into 12th place.
However, results on home turf at their Jämtkraft Arena continue to be a concern for manager, Amir Azrafshan, as his side have still yet to register a home win to date this season with their home record standing at a poor 0-2-5 5/12, which includes failing to score in four of their seven matches as well as keeping just one clean sheet.
Kalmar Preview – Can Kalmar continue revival?
Kalmar also improved their fortunes in the Swedish top flight during the week when they gained a point in a 1-1 draw at home with Goteborg which followed an impressive 2-0 win away from home at 5th placed Hacken, so Kalmar will be keen to continue their mini-revival with a result at Ostersunds on Monday night.
Earlier in the season, Kalmar had got off to a good start as they recorded back-to-back wins over Helsingborg 4-0 and Falkenberg 2-0 but had subsequently lost their way as the visitors had endured a wretched six-match losing streak which has plunged Kalmar into the lower regions of the Allsvenskan.
However, recent results suggest that Kalmar have steadied the ship as they’ve lost just one of their previous six matches overall, while picking up useful points in draws with Sirius, Mjallby and AIK, while they possess an away record of 2-1-4 8/12.
