Ostersunds FK vs Halmstad Predictions

• Ostersunds have lost seven of their last eight games.
• HBK have four points from last two away games.
• HBK are unbeaten in last six (W1, D5).

HBK bid to boost survival hopes

Ostersunds and Halmstad meet in a key fixture in the battle against the drop and the visitors may just edge this one.

The hosts have just eight points on the board after 11 games and Halmstad are four points better off.

However, HBK have been in decent form on their travels of late with four points from the last six available.  The visitors are also unbeaten in their last six games with five draws and one win, and they have managed draws against three teams currently in the top five during that run.

Orebro, in contrast, are in freefall with seven defeats in their last eight games.  The hosts have conceded three goals in each of their last three games and look in real danger of losing their top flight status.

Halmstad do tend to struggle for goals and have only scored more than once in one of their league fixtures so far, so we feel a 1-0 win for the visitors is the way to go in the correct score market.
