Kalmar FF vs Degerfors Predictions

• Both teams have scored in five of Kalmar’s last six league games.
• Both teams have scored in four of Degerfors’ last five Allsvenskan matches.
• Degerfors have lost all five of their away league contests this term, conceding multiple goals on each occasion.

Kalmar should win, but it might be close

Kalmar should justify home favoritism against road strugglers Degerfors this weekend, but the away side are capable of ensuring both teams are on the scoresheet.

The Red Brothers are outperforming their underlying statistics as they attempt to finish higher than last season’s final placing of fourth. They sit in sixth currently, but are much closer to Degerfors in 13th in terms of total xG and expected points.

That suggests this could be a much closer contest than the odds suggest, although one glance at Degerfors’ lamentable away record will tell you why they are 5/1 generally for the victory. DIF have been sunk without a trace in three straight road reverses to Gothenburg (6-0), Hacken (6-1) and Malmo (5-0).

Counter attack could get Degerfors a goal

Kalmar’s only win in their last three home games, however, came courtesy of two very late goals against Norrkoping and they can be undone on the counter attack.

Both teams to score lands better odds than the home win and, given it has also landed in four of Degerfors’ last five games, is worth a play in this spot – as is a 2-1 home win for correct score purposes.

Kalmar have scored exactly two goals in four of their five home contests this term and conceded just over one goal per game on average at Guldfågeln Arena.
