Ostersunds finished just one place before relegation last season but actually they were saved a lot earlier and they didn't have serious relagation issues thanks to their extraordinary performance on the road, as they gained 23 points in their away matches while only 10 at home. The remarkable thing for them this season is that they remained pretty the same squad with the transfer of Isherwood to Darmstadt being an important departure for the team. This happened due to a transfer ban they had so they were restricted to do any transfers. Isak Ssewankambo and Noah Sonko Sundberg will be the key players this season but OFK has to find more solutions offensively and help Turgott in scoring more than the 7 goals he scored last season, if they don't want to face relegation problems. The squad roster is pretty shallow and in case of important injuries there's not a lot of players of the same level to replace the starters. That will be a major concern for the team throughout the season.

Target


For sure the main target for Ostersunds will be to remain in Allsvenskan for one more season
