Östers IF face Norrby IF away in the Superettan on Saturday following a difficult spell. The team has lost three consecutive league matches and sits seventh in the table with 36 points from 25 games.
Despite a win against IFK Värnamo in mid-September, form has dipped since then. The home loss to IFK Norrköping on September 20th was followed by an away defeat to Falkenbergs FF and most recently a 3-2 loss to Halmstad in a friendly on October 3rd. The team's goal difference is even with 38 scored and 38 conceded.
Key match against Norrby
The meeting with Norrby becomes particularly important to break the negative trend. Norrby sits 13th in the table and were beaten 2-1 by Östers IF in their last encounter on May 30th. A win in Borås would provide a vital boost ahead of the season's final stretch.
The manager will need to find the right tactics and starting eleven to turn things around. In the loss to Norrköping, Östers IF played a 4-3-3 formation with Christian Lundahl Persson in goal and a centre-back pairing of Tuomas Varmanen and Kwame Gyamfi. The attacking trio consisted of Oskar Uddenäs, Momodou Sonko Jawla and Miro Tamminen.
