Djurgården has had the upper hand in their last ten matches against Degerfors, winning six times, while Degerfors came out on top in three. They’ve drawn once. These games never seem to disappoint either. You get goals, and plenty of them, with the average being 3.6 per game.
Degerfors team overview
Degerfors IF enters this one on the back of a bruising 4–0 Allsvenskan defeat away against Hammarby. The Red and Whites are struggling heavily for consistency, enduring a brutal three-match losing streak while being winless in nine matches.
This poor run of form has anchored them firmly near the relegation places. Henok Goitom’s men are finding life equally difficult on their own turf at Stora Valla, where they have failed to win their last four consecutive league fixtures, including a narrow 1–0 setback to Malmö in the most recent home game.
A rare bright spot remains defender Daniel Sundgren, who leads the squad with four total goal contributions consisting of one goal and three assists.
However, the team must now cope with him as a noticeable absentee from the squad due to a lingering heel injury that kept him out of the last match.

Djurgården team overview
Djurgårdens IF enters this one on the back of a hard-fought 0–0 Allsvenskan draw away against Örgryte IS. The Blue Stripes are enjoying a highly competitive run of form, losing just twice in their last eight league outings to keep their European qualification ambitions firmly alive.
Jani Honkavaara’s men have also proven to be an incredibly tough nut to crack on their travels, preserving a three-match unbeaten away streak that includes a dominant 4–2 triumphs over Häcken and AIK.
A massive catalyst for this stellar run has been in-form striker Kristian Lien, who leads the lines brilliantly and boasts an impressive tally of eight league goals so far this season.
However, the visiting side must navigate this matchup without center back Mikael Marqués. The 24-year-old received a straight red card just five minutes after entering the pitch against Häcken.

Prediction
Djurgården’s overwhelming head-to-head dominance and superior top-flight form make them heavy favorites to exploit Degerfors’ fragile rearguard. With the hosts missing defensive rock Daniel Sundgren and mired in a miserable 13-match run without a clean sheet, Kristian Lien should find plenty of joy upfront. Expect the visitors to easily dictate proceedings, mirroring their historic high-scoring tendencies to secure a comfortable, high-octane 3–1 victory on the road.
