Öster - Värnamo predictions

Öster might be heading into this game as firm favourites to get a win but they will have their work cut out for them as Värnamo are known to be highly unpredictable and capable of pulling a surprise when it is least expected.

Out of their home field and heading into this match as underdogs, Värnamo would need to play their best to have a hope of winning. That said, even a draw would be a positive outcome, and all three results are quite possible.

Öster’s previous Allsvenskan match did not go their way, but not even the most stubborn fans would have predicted a different result against a team as strong as Hammarby . They played as visitors, and the top online bookmakers priced an away win at 7.50. They never recovered from some early concessions, and the score was brought to a conclusive 4:0 result before the end.

Värnamo were the clear underdogs in their previous Allsvenskan matchup, as indicated by the overwhelming 6.11 odds that most bookies offered for their win. As expected, they lost, but not nearly as bad as many tipsters expected. A one-goal difference is not insurmountable, and it gives their supporters hope that they’ll be able to make up the points somewhere else.

With 6 concessions over the last 3 matches, Öster will definitely have to make some improvements in their defensive line.

It’s easy to spot a certain trend when looking over Värnamo’s recent history – and not in a good way. Their latest appearances were marked by a high concession rate. For example, their previous 3 matches featured more than 5 conceded goals.

This Sunday, both teams will be at full strength and able to give it their all.

Over 2.5 Goals is easily the safest bet when it comes to this matchup. The best part is that it also maintains a decent betting value, especially if you use the 1.82 odds offered at Pncl.
