IFK Goteborg vs Degerfors Predictions

• Fewer than three goals have been scored in seven of IFK Goteborg’s last ten league games.
• Fewer than three goals have been scored in three of IFK Goteborg’s last four home matches
• Fewer than three goals have been scored in Degerfors’ last two matches.

Degerfors’ defensive work could pay off in Gothenburg

Degerfors demonstrated a tougher defensive characteristic on their return to action last weekend and could stymie IFK Goteborg for long periods in Monday’s Allsvenskan contest.

Degerfors coach Andreas Holmberg had said that his team had worked hard on that side of the game during the international break and it showed during their 1-1 draw with second-placed AIK. Much better than during the first ten rounds when Degerfors had conceded 23 goals, the visitors’ improving defence is something to take into account when formulating a bet on this game.

Blåvitt came from behind to win at Sirius last weekend and make it two league wins on the bounce, but they have won only one of their last four at Gamla Ullevi and don’t convince us that their 4/7 match result quote is worth an investment.

‘Unders’ usually the way with IFK

Degerfors’ away form is poor with only only three points taken from a possible 15 on the road this year, but they did win the corresponding fixture last season so won’t be overwhelmed by the fixture.

Fewer than three goals have been scored in seven of IFK Goteborg’s last ten league games, including three of their last four at home, so the odds-against price for under 2.5 to be registered on Monday has appeal – especially when factoring in Degerfors’ new-found defensive steel.

A correct score forecast of 1-1 looks good here as the hosts average 1.4 goals for and 1.0 goals against at Gamla Ullevi while Degerfors have only hit multiple goals in two of their 11 previous Allsvenskan contests.
