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 1-0-7 (win-draw-lose).

Degerfors had fun at their own home (Finnvedsvallen) last time out, beating Brommapojkarna 2-0. Lindgren and Granath scored. Granath was the top performer of the team in that game with a match score of 8.05. The defender Granath scored one goal and won 6 of 11 duels.

A 0-1 defeat away at Norrköping before that.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day.

The Degerfors defense is as useful as an ashtray on a motorcycle, having conceded 26 goals in their away games.
