Ostersunds vs Goteborg
Sweden – Allsvenskan
Date: Saturday, 29 June 2019
Kick off at 15:00 UK / 16:00 CET
Venue: Jamtkraft Arena (Ostersund).
Ostersund
Ostersund have achieved modest results this season, but they still have four points from the team in the relegation zone and that is the most important for them. They play better at home than on the road and they only lose once in front of their supporters, while outside the stadium they only win once. They played very badly lately and have six games without a win without a win at the moment. They lost three times in a row in the same period and drew three times with a score of 1-1. In the last round they drew Sundsvall at home with the same result. Goalkeeper Keita, Edwards, R. Morrison and Aiesh were a refresher on the team in the match with Sundsval.
Possibilities of Ostersund: A. Keita - Haugan, Sundberg, Isherwood - Edwards, Colkett, R. Morrison, Tekie - Weymans, Aiesh - Islamovic
IFK Gothenburg
Goteborg played well this season but sometimes they had a bad day when they unexpectedly lost. At first they did not play away games and they lost the first two matches, after which they started a series of positive results. It had been eight rounds where no one had managed to defeat them. They won five matches and drew three, where two were at home in two derbies with Malmo and Hammarby. Two rounds ago they won Hacken 2-1 but in the last round they surprisingly lost to Orebro at home 1-0. Vibe and Erlingmark didn't play first and now they can be starters, while Ohlsson and Calisir are questioned.
Possible Goteborg lineup: Anestis - Shop, Starfelt, Da Graca, Wernersson - Erlingmark, Kharaishvili, Nygren - Abraham, Lagemyr, Vibe.
Ostersund vs IFK Gothenburg Stats
Ostersund will welcome the international break because after starting the season strongly they have gone six without a win with three of the last four ending in defeat. The two teams that scored were the features of their play and have occurred in each of the last three and five of their last six matches.
At Jamtkraft Arena, they only lost once this season but they also won only twice with three of them finishing everything. Dino Islamovic has scored two of his last four appearances on this land.
IFK Gothenburg saw their eight-match unbeaten run before the summer break after losing 1-0 at home to Orebro. Their matches tend to score low with seven combinations of their last five matches.
Far from His Ullevi, they have won each of their last three and are unbeaten in their last four which includes wins in Norrkoping and Sirius. Each of their six on the road for this season has seen both teams clear.
Given their recent excitement on the IFK Gothenburg road it is a favorite to win this one but the home team has no mugs that have lost just once here all season. A better attack angle is to look at the player's market and I like Lasse Vibe to net anytime here. He has had two goals in four appearances since his move from China and with a visiting team that shows attacking intentions on the road he can be supported here. For the hosts, Dino Islamovic brought the threat of their first goal and with two of the four starts getting a nod here.
Prediction of Ostersunds vs Goteborg Score Correct
Ostersunds have two wins, three draws and one defeat at home. In four of the last five home matches, Ostersund and their opponents managed to score. So far, Ostersunds have followed a pattern at home. Every home match ends without a winner. Goteborg won in their last three away games and in those matches, they scored at least twice. History is against Gothenburg. They played three times as visitors against Ostersunds and they never celebrated victory.
Prediction : 1– 2
