Djurgården v Degerfors

• Djurgården had 27 shots last weekend against Norrköping

• Djurgården have won the last two head-to-heads 

• Both teams are in poor form, each winning only one of their last five matches

Djurgården have, partly as a result of their successful European run, struggled hugely domestically, being short of energy and being impacted by difficult injuries. They are in 8th with 16 points despite scoring the fewest goals in the division (9).

Degerfors have had their own share of troubles, dropping down the table and recently sacking their manager, now in 13th, one point above the relegation zone. 

The home side are massive favourites, reflected by the odds of 1.55, while a Degerfors win gives 5.5 and the draw priced at 4.0.

Despite Djurgården’s aversion to aversion to big scorelines, the over 2.5 goals sits at 1.87, with 1.9 given for the under. 

⭐ Djurgården v Degerfors Predictions and Best Bets

Djurgården looked much improved and energetic in their first game after the summer break but didn’t put their chances away, drawing 1-1 with Norrköping despite dominating proceedings. They need to start picking up points and will look to get back to winning ways here against a Degerfors short on confidence.

The away side have been below par of late, losing four in a row and dropping down the table as a result. They look hapless and Djurgården should capitalise here, making the home win attractive at 1.55. 

Djurgården have only scored more than one goal in a single match this Allsvenskan season, only seeing over 2.5 goals in 23% of games. They have been involved in two high-scoring losses but otherwise tend to keep it tight, especially against the weaker sides in the league. As such, the under 3.5 goals look a banker at 1.36.

🔵 Djurgården Can’t Find the Net

Djurgården, who finished 3rd last year and reached the UEFA Conference League semi-finals, eventually going out to Chelsea, have been struggling to create and score all season long in Allsvenskan. They only have nine goals to date, creating a measly 14.3 xG. 

The underperformance compared to their expected goals shows how much they miss a striker, having sold Deniz Hummet between seasons for a hefty penny, with replacement Zakaria Sawo not being anywhere near the level required.

At least they haven’t conceded loads, letting in 15 goals in 13 games. Somehow, they find themselves in the top half of the table with 16 points, getting four wins and four draws under their belt. 

Only one of their last six matches have ended in a Djurgården win; however, they have lost to top contenders such as Mjällby (1st) and Elfsborg (4th).

🔴 Degerfors Heading Into the Bottom Three

Degerfors have, after winning their opening game of the season 5-0 and being top of the league after two rounds, dropped off significantly and since only picked up two wins in the subsequent eleven games. 

Their attacking impact was severely hampered by the absence of star striker Omar Faraj due to a severe concussion, while the defensive frailty has been a huge issue. They have conceded the second-most goals in the league, 25, only keeping two clean sheets all season, although their underlying figures are better than that, giving away 18.5 xG in total.

Sacking their manager three weeks into the summer break reeks of desperation, especially seeing as the U19 coach took over in the interim, with no replacement lined up. There was no immediate impact, losing 3-0 at home to Brommapojkarna last weekend, although their opponents only created 0.59 xG, taking their chances expertly.

📊 Djurgården v Degerfors Head-to-Head Key Stats

The two haven’t faced each other this season, with the return fixture coming in October. Djurgården have won the last two head-to-heads by a three-goal margin, 3-0 and 4-1, although Degerfors won the previous two. 

We tend to see goals between the two teams, however, Djurgården have traditionally been much more prolific in attack than they currently are.
