Degerfors vs Oster Prediction
Degerfors are outside the relegation zone, but their four-point cushion over the bottom three is far from a comfortable one. A loss will leave them just one point above the dreaded dotted line and have them looking over their shoulders.
Oster, for their part, are one of the sides below Degerfors and looking to climb out of the red zone. They have been among the league's worst sides but are in the midst of a three-game unbeaten run following a six-game losing streak. They are aiming to avoid an immediate return to the second division, having won the Suprettan last season.
The visitors are unbeaten in three head-to-head games, winning two, but Degerfors should claim a narrow victory with goals at both ends.
