Degerfors form and stats

4-2-4 (win-draw-lost) are the Allsvenskan numbers at home for Degerfors, who have the most conceded goals (41) in Allsvenskan, so far this season.

Defensively the home team are doing well, with their goalkeeper Sondre Løvseth Rossbach not having conceded a league goal in 180 minutes.

Degerfors are returning here after visiting Värnamo and winning with a 1-0 scoreline. Campos scored the goal(s). Some amazing scenes last match, when Campos scored the winning goal four minutes into stoppage time. The goalie Rossbach was named most valuable player of the team in that game, scoring 8.25 out of ten. Rossbach topped it up with a clean sheet.

Ahead of that match, Degerfors won a home game hosting Brommapojkarna (2-0).

There will be little rest for Degerfors after this match as they are travelling to Katrineholms SK for a Svenska Cupen game in only three days.

Degerfors are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 13 goals in 10 games. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 15 goals have been conceded.

IFK Göteborg form and stats

There's been little loot from IFK Göteborg's travels as they have only collected 4 points from 9 away games in the Allsvenskan. IFK Göteborg only have 0 wins to counter their 5 defeats and 4 draws.

IFK Göteborg go into this game after a win, the home game against Djurgården that ended 2-1. Berg came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against Djurgården last time out, making the manager Askou feel like a tactical genius.

A 0-3 defeat away at Norrköping before that.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Göteborg manager Askou as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against IK Zenith.

There's been a serious shortage of goals from IFK Göteborg's away games in the league this season with only {4 goals} from 9 matches. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as IFK Göteborg have conceded 15 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
