Degerfors IF vs Malmö FF Prediction: Malmo will dominate the clash

In the forthcoming league game, struggling Degerfors will take on the league's leading team, Malmö FF, attempting to pull off an upset. It is the fifteenth place that are hosting the first place, hence low expectations all around. Previews, possible starting 11, expert tips, and odds are provided below.

WLLWL

Degerfors' recent performance in the Allsvenskan has been a bit mixed. They faced a defeat in their previous match against AIK, losing 0-2, with goals from Milosevic and Ohlsson's own goal. Despite the loss, Degerfors had the majority of possession (57%) and made 9 attempts.

When playing at their home stadium, Stora Valla, Degerfors have recorded 5 wins, 2 draws, and 5 defeats so far in the Allsvenskan. In matches against top-table teams like Häcken, Elfsborg, Hammarby, and Djurgården, they have won 2 out of 4 matches.

In terms of scoring, Degerfors haven't been prolific at home, with 15 goals scored in 12 games. However, they have also conceded 17 goals. There seems to have been some defensive improvement recently, as they only conceded 2 goals in their last three home matches.

Degerfors will be looking to bounce back from their recent defeat and improve their home record in the upcoming matches.

LDWDW

Malmö FF are in good form, especially in their recent away matches. They are coming off a 3-1 victory against Hammarby in their last game and had a 2-2 draw at home against IFK Göteborg before that.

One notable trend is that many of Malmö FF's recent league fixtures have ended with three goals or more, indicating that they have been involved in high-scoring matches.

When it comes to away matches in the league, Malmö FF have been quite prolific, scoring 19 goals in 11 games on the road. In terms of their away record, Malmö FF have been very comfortable, with 7 wins, 1 draw, and only 3 losses in the Allsvenskan. They are currently on the verge of a winning streak in away matches after winning their last two.

Malmö FF are leading the table with 49 points from 23 games, having scored 49 goals and conceded 20.

Degerfors: Sondre Rossbach, Abdelkarim Mammar, Douglas Bergqvist, Sebastian Ohlsson, Gustav Granath, Christos Gravius, Rasmus Örqvist, Johan Martensson, Joseph-Claude Gyau, Hugo Bolin, Diego Campos.

Malmo FF: Johan Dahlin, Pontus Jansson, Derek Cornelius, Martin Olsson, Taha Abdi Ali, Oliver Berg, Lasse Berg Johnsen, Busanello, Stefano Vecchia, Isaac Kiese Thelin, Sebastian Nanasi.

Due to Malmo's fondness for high-scoring games, I anticipate more of the same here, with goals scored in both ends, but the league leaders will still get the win in the first half.
