Osters IF vs Brommapojkarna Predictions

Struggling Osters and Brommapjkarna go head to head in the Superettan this weekend, and with just one point separating the pair in the table, Osters could replace their guests at the bottom of the division with a defeat. Both teams picked up a point last time out, with the hosts having an extra five days to rest, recuperate, and prepare for Saturday’s game, therefore, they are the bookmaker’s favourites to claim all three points.

Osters twice came from behind to rescue a point at home to Brage last time out, with Pedro bringing the hosts level in the seventy-second minute after going behind in the sixteenth. Osters weren’t level for long though, as Brage restored their one-goal advantage four minutes after Pedro had equalised. That second goal for the visitors looked to have won the match, especially after Ljungberg was sent-off for the hosts five minutes from time, until deep into stoppage time when Johannesson made himself the hero of the hour by scoring a dramatic equaliser for Osters. Brommapojkarna and Mjallby played out a tight and tense ninety minutes at Grimsta IP, where after a goalless first half the visitors took the lead on the hour mark. That goal appeared to have won the game for Mjallby until Graden equalised in the final minute to rescue Brommapojkarna a share of the spoils.

The recent encounters between these two clubs and their performances in the Superettan over the last month, all point towards under 2.5 goals being scored this weekend and the game ending in a stalemate. Under 2.5 goals have been scored in two of the last three meetings between these two clubs, and both of those games finished goalless. Five of Osters last six and four of Brommapojkarna’s last five matches have also produced under 2.5 goals. The hosts are without a win in their last five matches and their guests haven’t won any of their last seven matches. Osters have drawn three of their last five matches and Brommapojkarna have drawn two of their last five, which is why we’re backing Saturday’s game to end in a 0-0 draw.

Johansson top scores for the hosts with three league goals this season, while Nilsson also has three goals and leads the way for Brommapojkarna. We’re confident that under 2.5 goals will be scored on Saturday and have predicted a final scoreline of 0-0. Both teams have been struggling for form and goals in recent weeks, and two of their last three encounters have ended goalless.
