Gefle vs Ostersund tips and predictions

Gefle see off Ostersund's challenge

Hold your horses if you think this match's outcome is obvious. This preview leans towards the home win but if they don't command respect early then who knows. They'll fancy their chances though.

A look at the respective results for each side; the hosts have secured 3 wins in 5 matches. Enjoying less success than expected, the travelling side has suffered reverses in 10 of their recent 14 matches on the road.

This home squad is in some form on their own paddock. Gefle have scored two or more goals in 8 of their recent 11 home matches.

Ostersund have had issues when not on their own turf lately. They've conceded at least once in all of their last 9 away matches. To add to their concerns, goals have been in short supply for them too. Averaging just 0.6 goals in their last 14 away matches, creating match-winning chances is proving elusive for Ostersund.

It's quite possible this is a match that will simply depend on which side is the fastest out of the blocks. The betting markets imply that neither side will keep a clean sheet during this match as they could be well matched. However, the odds-against for the BTTS No looks reasonable.
