GAIS vs Degerfors Predictions, Betting Tips and Match Previews

These two teams are nestled together in the middle reaches of the Swedish second tier. Just one place and two points separate them currently with Degerfors marginally better off. Neither side looks in any real relegation danger but only a real winning streak would propel them into promotion contention.

GAIS come into this game following a dramatic match last time out. They recovered from 3-1 and 4-2 deficits to draw 4-4 at home to Orgryte and it was the kind of match that really summed them up. They showed plenty of quality going forward but also clearly have some pretty big defensive issues that can be exploited.

Degerfors will take encouragement from the latter but they also conceded four in their last game, a heavy defeat at Helsingborg. Their previous match had seem them score four themselves though so this feels like a game between two attack-minded sides and goals seem likely at each end here.

67% of GAIS matches this season have produced goals at each end of the pitch. That includes all of their last four outings where they’ve started to play a lot more positively, netting 10 goals without ever looking totally convincing at the other end. It does seem to be benefiting them overall though with no defeats and 8 points over that period so it’s reasonable to assume they will look to play on the front foot again here.

67% of Degerfors games have also seen both teams score this season. 75% of their games have produced over 2.5 goals and they have both scored and conceded 1.58 goals per game on average this term. Therefore they really have tended to be a good watch from a neutral perspective and 5 of their last 6 games have also produced goals at each end.

Almost all the stats here point towards this being a pretty decent game with chances for both sides and backing Backing Both Teams to Score looks to offer value.

Picking a winner is a tougher task though. The league table certainly suggests they are fairly evenly matched sides and GAIS have struggled to make home advantage count this term, with just a 33% win ratio in front of their own fans. Therefore backing a 2-2 Draw looks like it could be a decent punt in the Correct Score market.
