The path has mostly gone uphill for GIF Sundsvall so far, and that also applies to Degerfors. These brave battlers would trade their mothers for some vital points here.
- GIF Sundsvall have conceded at least twice as many goals as they have scored.
- Degerfors have the fewest scored goals (2) in Allsvenskan
It should be mentioned that Degerfors play their home matches on grass, so they have to adjust for this one as it's played on artifical turf. Does it matter?

You can compare this with overall results below.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
GIF Sundsvall form and stats
Three Allsvenskan home games done for GIF Sundsvall, who are not happy collecting 3 points from these matches.

Prior to that, an away loss at Elfsborg.GIF Sundsvall have scored 2 league goals here from 3 matches, not a lot. GIF Sundsvall have conceded 7 goals in these home games, a significant number.
Degerfors form and stats
It's not happening yet for Degerfors on their Allsvenskan travels, with zero points from their first 3 away games. Maybe today will be different? It's looking increasingly bleak for Degerfors who now has to deal with a six game losing streak. Djurgården was the last time a defeat was avoided.
Degerfors have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 384 minutes ago. Campos was the goal scorer.
Home advantage was not enough for Degerfors in their previous game as they lost hosting Elfsborg, 0-6. Degerfors lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-6 beating and focus on this one. Midfield player Örqvist was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.61/10. Örqvist hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.
It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Varnamo wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.There's been a serious shortage of goals from Degerfors's away games in the league this season with only 1 goal from 3 matches. The Degerfors manager Holmberg has some worries about the defense as 7 goals have been conceded in these travels.
Head 2 Head
Last ten meetings featuring these teams: GIF Sundsvall won six, Degerfors triumphed in three and we saw one draw. seven games with over 2,5 goals, three matches with under 2,5 goals.Top Goalscorers
