Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 0 games and lost 2. The team is doing great wherever they are playing as Degerfors has won five games in a row. The Halmstad match was the last time out without a victory. Two home wins in a row for Degerfors bring valid hopes of a third.
Defensively the home team are doing well, with their goalkeeper Ismael Diarra Diawara not having conceded a league goal in 242 minutes.
Degerfors enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Stockholm Internazionale (after extra-time)'s place. The match ended 3-1 with D. Janevski (2) and C. Gravius scoring. A strong away win before that one, visiting Norrby and winning 2-0.

Västerås SK form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Västerås SK so far with only 5 points returning home. The records show 1-2-7 (win-draw-lose). Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Västerås's last three away games as they have all been lost.
Västerås SK play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 3-0 victory visiting Boden. A draw for Västerås before that, at their own venue hosting Jonkopings Sodra (2-2).
We have done a similar check as we did with the hometeam, looking up recent matches where Västerås played away with similar odds. This revealed one game. The visitors overcame the odds to win zero times, zero were draws and the home team won as expected one time.
