- They sit 14th in Allsvenskan 2025 with just 22 points from 25 games.
- Osters are a high-intensity, transition-based team who like to press and get the ball back with an energetic midfield trio, but they have been vulnerable defensively, leaving space for opponents in front of their defence and struggling to get their own shape in place.
- Alibek Aliev is Osters IF’s top goalscorer with five goals in 24 Allsvenskan 2025 appearances and will be a focal point of their attack.
Halmstads BK

- Halmstads BK are in much better shape, sitting 12th with 28 points from 25 games, holding a narrow cushion above the drop.

- It is working so far, with Halmstads winning three, drawing one and losing one of their five games under his stewardship, although they have scored just five times in those matches.
- Yannick Agnero is Halmstads BK's top scorer with five in 19 appearances but the visitors’ front-line have not always been the most prolific, although Villiam Granath has hit form in recent games, scoring two of those five in the last five.
