3rd placed Ostersunds FK have their sights firmly set on European qualification this season – their start to the 2017 Swedish Allsvenskan season has been impressive and they welcome a GIF Sundsvall side that will slip into the relegation zone if they lose at the Jämtkraft Arena on Saturday.
Our Ostersunds FK V GIF Sundsvall preview starts with a look at the recent performances of their home side. Under English manager Graham Potter, Ostersunds have lost just once in their last eight and have recorded back to back victories in their two most recent fixtures.
The away side’s 3-0 defeat to fellow strugglers Kalmar FF last week was a bitter blow for Joel Cedergren coming into our Ostersunds FK V GIF Sundsvall predictions. With just one win from their last eight and only two victories overall in 2017, GIF Sundsvall look set for a season shrouded in relegation worry.
GIF Sundsvall have failed to register on the score sheet in six of their last eight games and they are unsurprisingly the joint lowest scorers in the Allsvenskan so far in 2017 with seven goals.
Our OddsDigger Ostersunds FK V GIF Sundsvall picks will be heavily weighted towards the home side, which won’t come as a shock to our readers. GIF Sundsvall’s troubles in the final third have been well documented and as the old adage goes – if you don’t score goals, you can’t win games.
Ostersunds FK will be extremely disappointed if they don’t pick up three points in their quest for European football on Saturday. I expect them to record a routine win against their struggling visitors.
