Djurgardens IF vs Degerfors IF Prediction

Form check: two very different recent runs

Djurgardens' overall numbers this season are strong: 12 wins from 20, scoring 50 and conceding just 18 along the way. But the most recent matches tell a slightly different story, with defeats to Elfsborg, Kalmar and Mjallby cropping up in the last month or so alongside a heavy cup loss to lower-division Haninge.

Djurgardens IF: 20 completed matches; Degerfors IF: 20 completed matches.

Degerfors, meanwhile, continue to struggle for consistency. Only 5 wins from 20 outings, with 11 defeats and a goal difference well into the negative. Their last five matches across competitions have brought four losses, including defeats to Hammarby and Sirius.

Djurgardens' season-long numbers carry more weight than a short recent dip, while Degerfors' away form has been consistently poor.

Comparative Team Statistics: Djurgardens IF vs Degerfors IF

Head-to-head: Djurgardens have the better record

Looking back across these two sides' recent meetings, Djurgardens have won the majority, including the only Allsvenskan fixture between them this season, a 1-0 away win in July. There have been occasional Degerfors wins and a couple of draws scattered through the years, but Djurgardens' results have generally been the more emphatic ones, including a 5-1 win in 2025 and a 4-1 win in 2023.

This history stretches back several seasons rather than reflecting just the current campaign, so it's background rather than a guarantee of what happens this time.

The table backs up the eye test

Djurgardens sit third with 41 points from 22 games, while Degerfors are down in 14th with 19 points from the same number of matches. That's a 22-point gap between two sides meeting on the same weekend.

Djurgardens have also scored far more freely (47 to 21 conceded) than Degerfors have managed at the other end of the division (19 scored, 34 conceded).

The gap in the table lines up with the gap in recent form.

Players carrying the attacking threat

K. Lien has been Djurgardens' main source of goals this season with 15 in 22 appearances, while Bo Åsulv Hegland has chipped in with 8 goals and 14 assists, making him central to how they create chances.
