Östers IF face Halmstad in a pre-season friendly on Friday. The match is a key part of preparations for the remainder of the Superettan campaign.
Coming off a 1-3 home loss to IFK Norrkoping last week, the team needs to rediscover a winning rhythm. Recent form has been challenging, with just one win in their last five competitive matches. Östers IF currently sit seventh in the Superettan table with 36 points from 25 games.
Preparations for the run-in
The friendly against Halmstad offers the coaching staff a chance to test different line-ups and tactical ideas. In the loss to Norrköping, Matias Tamminen scored Östers' only goal. The team's next official fixture is away to Norrby IF on October 10th, a side currently in 13th place.
