Degerfors vs Kalmar team news and expert analysis
The club from Stora Valla, having returned after a one-year spell in the second tier, finished 13th in last season's campaign with 30 points. Things have not gone smoothly this time either, with more than half of their matches—particularly in the latest rounds—ending in defeat. They at least managed to draw with Mjällby.
Kalmar missed last season but returned straight away. Now they are battling to preserve their top-flight status. However, their results are no better than those of their opponents, and their autumn campaign has been marked by a string of defeats. They also failed to score against Malmö, losing 0-1.
Goytom's side score around 0.87 goals per match away from home while conceding almost twice as many—1.52. The newcomers are no better, although they offer slightly more entertainment: they score 0.91 goals per game but concede 1.61.
