Malmö FF are positioned 2nd, while Degerfors are lingering 12 points behind in the standings. Will they shorten the gap?
- Malmö FF have the most scored goals (33) in Allsvenskan
- Degerfors have conceded at least twice as many goals as they have scored away.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Malmö FF form and stats
Malmö FF have performed here at Eleda Stadion this season with 5 wins from 7 Allsvenskan matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 1 game and lost 1.
A nice win for Malmö last time playing, versus Ludogorets. That was also a home game and the match ended 2-0 with Veljko Birmančević and Jo Inge Berget scoring for the victors. Midfielder Anders Christiansen was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.74 (out of ten) in that game. Christiansen hit the woodwork once, served one assist, hit two key passes, dribled passed the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 30 successful passes (of 37 total).
Ahead of that match, Malmö lost 2-3 at home to IFK Göteborg.Malmö are believed to win this game, given a winning chance of about 70% by the bookmakers. We have checked our records for their performance in similar circumstances and found 13 matches and the win/draw/lost stats: Won twelve, drew one and lost zero.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Malmö as they are travelling to their away game against Ludogorets in the Champions League. That match is three days after this one.
Malmö are an "over 2,5 goals" team alone here at Eleda Stadion in their league games, having scored an impressive 18 goals in 7 matches. 10 goals have been conceded.
Degerfors form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Degerfors so far with only 5 points returning home. The records show 1-2-5 (win-draw-lose). Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Degerfors's last three away games as they have all been lost.
Two travels in a row for Degerfors, whose manager A. Holmberg could celebrate last time after the Svenska Cupen win against Sleipner. As mentioned above, Degerfors was the only team on the pitch versus Sleipner in their previous game, winning 8-1. This could be a tougher task. V. Dahlström certainly enjoyed Degerfors's last game versus Sleipner, appearing multiple times in the match report with four goals and the 8-1 victory.
Prior to that match, a home win 3-0 against Häcken in the Allsvenskan.The attacking power of Degerfors when travelling is not overwhelming with 5 goals scored from 8 league matches away. The Degerfors manager A. Holmberg has some worries about the defense as 16 goals have been conceded in these travels.
Head 2 Head
Degerfors - Malmö 0-5 was the scoreline in these contenders' previous H2H match, earlier this season. Head to head numbers (for the prior three meetings): Malmö won three games, zero matches ended with a draw and Degerfors have zero wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: three / zeroMalmö FF missing players
