Degerfors IF will be happy to take away 3 points from their last match, with an important 2-1 away win against IFK Norrkoping.  Their share of possession in that meeting was 36%, while racking up 11 shots along the way, 4 of which were on target, in contrast to IFK Norrkoping, who had 11 shots on goal with 5 on target.  

Supremo William Lundin will be closely scrutinising his squad's defensive frailties, his back line having shipped 14 goals in their last 6 matches, despite having picked up some points through the 9 goals they've managed to net.  They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 games at Stora Valla.  

They've had a terrible run of form at Stora Valla recently and having lost 4 of their last 6 home games managing just 1 win.

The IFK Gothenburg players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their home fixture against Osters IF recently, that ended in a 1-0 defeat.  They came away from that fixture with a 65% share of the possession and clocked up 13 attempts on goal with 2 on target, in comparison to Osters IF, who managed 8 attempts on goal, 3 of which were on target.  

Manager Stefan Billborn will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, having managed to score 7 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 10 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way.   They've failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 away games.  

With 4 defeats and just 1 victory in their last 6 league matches, they have had a poor run and will need to turn that around if they want to start climbing the table.  

On an individual basis, Max Fenger will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 3 goals in IFK Gothenburg's last 6 league games.
