Scrambling Degerfors will be hoping to pull off an upset when they play top team Malmö FF in the upcoming league game. It’s 15th vs 1st and the home supporters will have modest expectations.

Insights:
  • Degerfors have the fewest scored goals in the first half (8) in Allsvenskan
  • Malmö FF have the fewest conceded goals (20) in Allsvenskan

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
