Norrkoping vs Osters

Interesting situation in Sweden, three teams are fighting to escape the relegation. I will start my preview with the actual situation in Allsvenskan. Here are the last four teams, three of them involved into the relegation battle.13. Brommapojkarna 31 (from 29 matches) —————————————–14. Halmstad 30 (from 29 matches) —————————————–15. Osters 26 (from 28 matches) 16. Syrianska 11 (from 29 matches)Syrianska are definitely relegated and will play in the Superettan in the next season. That means three teams will fight to escape the relegation. The 14th position means they will be involved into a play-out match with the third team from the Superettan. Osters’ situation is most complicated, they are four points from 14th position, five points from the safe zone. But Brommapojkarna and Halmstad will play each against other in the last round and that is a big chance for Osters. They need to win the remaining two games and they will secure at least a play-out place. The positive news is that their opponents are unmotivated. Norrkoping have nothing to play for, as well as the next opponent Djurgarden in the last round. The question is if Osters can beat Norrkoping in this match. I think they can as Norrkoping are in bad form at the moment. They lost the previous two league matches. Even more, Norrkoping’s strikers failed to score on both games. Here are the results:21.10.2013. AIK – Norrkoping 1:005.10.2013. Norrkoping – Kalmar 0:1The coach Janne Andersson may decide to rest some of his key players on the last two matches, here and against Goteborg in the last round. Two players that will definitely miss this game are the defender Christoffer Maneses through suspension and the midfielder James Frempong due to injury. I think the motivation could decide the match. Expect Osters to win here.
