They also recorded a 2-2 draw at Kalmar FF, a 2-1 victory at GIF Sundsvall, and a 5-0 loss at Trelleborgs FF.

Östersunds to hold their own
The bookmakers have made Västeras SK FK strong favorites here at -147, with Östersunds FK coming in at +400. We think that the odds on the visitors are a bit steep, and this Vasteras SK FK vs Ostersunds FK prediction takes into account that the ‘Östersunds FK Win or Draw’ market at +105 represents an intriguing option for this game.
Östersunds have collected 7 points from 4 games and will be no easy opponents on Wednesday. Livani’s men have scored an average of 1.25 goals per game on their travels and conceded just 1.00, so we believe they will hold their own against the home side. With Karlsson’s men remaining unbeaten at this venue, they should have enough to edge this one, but we think Östersunds’ away form in 2025 suggests this should be close.
