Degerfors form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Degerfors so far with only 3 points returning home. The records show 1-0-5 (win-draw-lose). Degerfors seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

There were no winners in Degerfors's previous match, the home game that ended 1-1 vs Norrköping (placed 11th). Defender Ohlsson was the best team player with a rating of 7.6. Ohlsson won 2 of 3 duels.

Prior to that match, the Degerfors manager Holmberg faced defeat when travelling to IFK Göteborg and losing 0-2.

Degerfors are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 1 win, 4 draws and 4 defeats. From a total of 9 matches.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Degerfors as they have only managed to score 5 times from 6 away games in the league. The Degerfors manager Holmberg has some worries about the defense as 13 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

Head to head statistics (for the last ten meetings): Sirius won six games, three matches ended with a draw and Degerfors have one win. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: four / six
