Osters IF preview: Niklas Soderberg still out of the fold
Niklas Soderberg is on course to miss a 10th game on the bounce since making a 16-minute cameo in April's 1-0 defeat to Djurgarden.
Ivan Kricak (suspension) is the only other absentee for the home side as he prepares to serve a one-game ban for accumulation of yellow cards.
This should see 30-year-old Sebastian Starke come into the lineup for what would be only a second league start of the season.
Predicted lineup: Wallinder (GK), Gyamfi, Starke, Adolfsson, Varmanen, Seger, Christensen, Soderberg, Tamminen, Aliev & Ljung

Player to watch – David Seger
Seger served up arguably his best display of the season in Osters' last outing, supplying a goal and an assist to help his side claim a hard-fought point.
The midfielder has recorded three direct goal contributions in his last three halves of football and is definitely one to keep an eye on.
Seger aiming to string together a consistent run of form
A tally of six goals and eight assists in 28 matches last season increased expectations on Seger heading into the current campaign.
After a slow start, the 25-year-old looked to have got his mojo back between late March and early April before going eight straight matches without a direct goal contribution.
Seger's renaissance of late is a familiar sight for Osters supporters, who will be hoping that he properly kicks on this time around.
