Norrby IF vs Ostersunds FK Predictions

• Norrby and Ostersunds are the two lowest-scoring sides in the Swedish Superetten, scoring seven and eight goals respectively.
• Seven of the 10 league games featuring Norrby this term have seen under 2.5 games.
• Meanwhile, Ostersunds have seen fewer than three goals scored in six of their last nine contests.

Strugglers’ contest may not produce goals

A run of six games without a win has raised Ostersunds’ fears of a second successive relegation, with Magnus Powell’s men sitting one point behind Jonkoping, who are in the Swedish Superetten’s relegation play-off spots. In 13^th place, Norrby occupy the second play-off place, making Tuesday’s contest between the pair an early-season relegation six-pointer.

Norrby are the lowest-scoring side in Sweden’s second tier, netting just seven times all campaign. Seven of their 10 league games have contained under 2.5 goals, while none have featured more than three. Norrby’s attacking woes have left them struggling for consistency thus far in 2022, and Max Lind’s men have scored just twice in their five home games this term, failing to net in three of those contests.

Ostersunds have suffered from similar problems in front of goal, scoring just eight times in their 10 league outings. Heavy recent defeats to Brage, Brommapojkarna and Eskilstuna saw Ostersunds ship a total of 11 goals, but the other six of their last nine contests have featured under 2.5 goals, and they are yet to win on the road in 2022, losing on four of their six away trips this term.

Under 2.5 goals likely

Given the dire attacking records of both sides, punters are advised to neglect the win markets ahead of this crucial affair and back under 2.5 goals to be scored in what should be a tight contest.

Meanwhile, with the two struggling outfits appearing difficult to separate, a 1-1 draw could represent a decent correct score prediction.
