Öster and Helsingborg meet in the Superettan, with the hosts sitting 7th and the visitors 11th. Both have played 28 matches, so this is a game between two teams looking to close out the season well in different ways. Öster have found form late in the campaign, winning two in a row after a run of defeats before that, but their defence is still a clear problem, as they have conceded in every one of their last five matches and just came through a 5-4 win in their most recent game. Helsingborg, meanwhile, have not won any of their last five, drawing three and losing two, scoring just one goal in those five. Their attack is the bigger concern right now. Helsingborg's pattern in each game is to sit back and wait to counter, but when they do get the ball forward they create few chances, managing only 3 shots on target per game in their last 10. Öster create more and have a similar share of possession. If Öster score first, the game should open up, because Helsingborg will have to push forward and trade blows, which is exactly the situation Öster thrive in.
