Sandvikens IF and Östersunds FK meet in the Superettan tonight, with the hosts having just lost 2-3 in their last match, while the visitors drew 1-1 and have been unbeaten in the league for several matches. The two teams are therefore in clearly different shape: the hosts want to get back to picking up points at home, while the visitors are maintaining the momentum of a solid defence. Sandvikens IF are mid-table, and at home in the first half they have scored in every match they have played at home, and they often start games by pushing high to find an early goal, but their defence also has spells where it concedes easily, especially in the first half. Östersunds FK, meanwhile, are 4th, with defence the strength of their season, and as an away team they often start games waiting for their moment rather than rushing to open up. This game is likely to see the hosts having to open up first, because they need points at home, while the visitors will probably sit in a block and wait to counter at speed. If the hosts score first, the game will open up more, but if the visitors hold out, it could become a trade of blows in which the hosts do more of the attacking.
