Degerfors hosts Ostersunds in round 9 of the Swedish Allsvenskan. The match will be played on Saturday, July 3rd at Stora Valla (Degerfors)
Degerfors has not played in Allsvenskan since 1997. During this time, the Red-Whites managed to fall in the country's 3rd division several times and promote to Superettan. But only in 2020, having taken second place in the second tier, the team received the long-awaited right to play in the elite of local football again. Curiously, it is led by a coaching tandem, Tobias Solberg and Andreas Holmberg. They are doing their job quite well, although the newcomer started with three victories in the first four rounds. But most importantly, before the June pause, Degerfors scored 11 points and even defeated Djurgården, which claims for the 1st place this season.

Ostersunds spent the lion's share of its history (however, the project was founded in the mid-90s of the last century) in the 3rd or even 4th divisions of Sweden. The transformation took place under Graham Potter who brought the team to Allsvenskan. And he won the national cup already in his debut year at this level. And in the 2017/2018 season, the Red-Blacks were able not only to get into the group round of the Europa League but also to take second place in the company of Athletic Bilbao, Hertha, and Zorya Lugansk. Moreover, the outsider even beat Arsenal in the 1/16 finals, but it lost the first home leg with a 0-3 score. But soon the successful coach went home, and his brainchild turned into the middle peasant of the championship. In 2020, Ostersunds finished in 13th place, and this is a serious alarm bell. Young Amir Azrafshan, who has been working since last summer, was called to rectify the situation. So far, it is difficult to speak about his results unequivocally. The team did not lose at the start (five points in the first three games), but there were four consecutive defeats in May). But before the pause, the Red-Blacks managed to hammer Sirius at home (3-0).
Ostersunds was unbeaten in all four recent head-to-head matches (three draws and a home win). But the opponents crossed paths back in 2015, at the level of Superettan. It is difficult to evaluate the shape of the clubs that have not played official matches for more than a month. So, we will bet on Under 2.5 goals scored.
Prediction for the match. Under 2.5 goals scored
