Degerfors vs Trelleborg Betting Tips & Predictions

Degerfors are in an awful spell of form at the moment that is putting them in a spot of bother in the Swedish Superettan. They come into this match way down in 14th position in the table, just one point ahead of bottom of the table Syrianska having collected just ten points from their opening 12 matches.

Six of these points came as they secured back to back victories against Halmstad and Varnamo after they began the season with a five match winless streak, but their renewed vigour didn’t last very long.

Since that win against Varnamo they have lost three games and drawn two, conceding 13 goals in these five matches and scoring just three. This includes a dreadful performance in a 6-0 defeat to Sirius and a 3-0 home defeat to Assyriska.

Trelleborg were only promoted last season, but they have started to put down the groundworks for a safe season in the Superettan. They come into gameweek 13 in 9th position, five points clear of the relegation playoff spots and six clear of the automatic relegation positions.

Their season didn’t start fantastically though as they won just one of their opening seven games, losing three times. However, they have picked up the pace and managed to win three of their last five matches, losing just one.

Away from home Trelleborg do struggle though. They have lost four of their five away days in the Superettan, winning the remaining game. They might have a chance on Saturday though, as Degerfors have only won one of their six home games this season and have already lost three times on home turf.

To be fair to Trelleborg, all of their away defeats have come against teams in the top half of the table, whereas their only away game against a bottom half of the table side resulted in a 2-0 win at Frej. Degerfors couldn’t manage to beat Frej on home turf, and they have failed with a number of other teams occupying the bottom section of the Superettan. With just one win in six home games I’m finding it difficult to justify Degerfors winning, so odds of 7/10 for a Trelleborg Win or Draw Double Chance look good value to me. I’m backing a draw with a 1-1 correct score prediction at 5/1 as well.
