Degerfors IF will be locking horns with visitors, IFK Goteborg on thursday for the Allsvenskan tie at Stora Valla.

Degerfors IF will be going into this game on the back of a 1-1 draw against IF Elfsborg. Regardless of that, they are currently fighting a relegation battle with just four games remaining for the season to conclude. They are currently seated at 14th position as opposed to the visitors 7th, and have only managed to gather 23 points so far this season. In recent games, Degerfors have managed to prevent defeats after having 5 draws from their last 7 and conceded only 2 goals from their last 5. This shows a little improvement on their defense at this latter stage of the season, however, that might not be enough to stop the visitors from doing some damage. While the defense seem to have found their mojo, the attack has been without rhythm. Finding the net has proven to be more difficult and it is no wonder that they are in their current relegation-battle situation, as for most of their games, they are helpless and can only sit back and defend. Looking at their past form, Degefors IF have been without a victory over IFK Goteborg in their last 2 league meetings.

Goteborg on the other hand seem to have finally ended their poor negative run in the last round at hoe against favored Malmo, as they came home with a close 2-1 victory after a complete reversal. The visitors will be building on this momentum and will be hoping for a repeat of that result. They are seated at 7th spot in the Allsvenskan rankings, nine points in deficit compared to the European-placed Djurgarden. With four games left to go, Gotebord will be attempting to make one huge run for a european spot. At the back, Goteborg have been a little porous, after conceding in 6 of their last 6 matches a total of 14 goals in total. This defensive instability however, is complimented by their attack, as they have managed to find the back of the net 16 times in their last 10 matches.

The visitors, Goteborg, have a good record agains the host and will be motivated by that. Regardless of their defensive worries, they have enough firepower to make a comeback to either prevent a defeat, or to secure a victory. Our Prediction is for the visitors, Goteborg to either win this fixture or grab a point by securing a draw.

德格福斯IF将在与IF埃尔夫斯堡1-1战平后进入本场比赛。不管怎样，他们目前正在为保级而战，本赛季只剩下4场比赛。他们目前排在第14位，而客队排在第7位，本赛季到目前为止，他们只拿到了23分。在最近的比赛中，德格弗斯在过去的7场比赛中取得了5场平局，并且在最近的5场比赛中只丢了2球。这表明他们在本赛季后期的防守有了一些改善，然而，这可能不足以阻止客队造成一些破坏。虽然防守似乎找到了他们的魔力，但进攻却没有节奏。事实证明，找到进球的机会更加困难，这也难怪他们现在处于保级战的境地，就像他们的大多数比赛一样，他们是无助的，只能坐下来防守。看看他们过去的状态，德杰福斯IF在最近的2场联赛中都没有战胜哥德堡。

另一方面，哥德堡似乎终于结束了他们在上一轮对阵热门马尔默的糟糕表现，他们在完全逆转后以2-1险胜回家。客队将在这一势头的基础上再创佳绩。他们在Allsvenskan排名中排名第七，与欧洲排名的德尤尔加登相比落后9分。在还剩下四场比赛的情况下，哥德堡将试图向欧洲席位发起巨大的冲击。在后防线上，哥德堡的防守有些松懈，他们最近6场比赛中有6场丢了球，总共丢了14球。然而，这种防守的不稳定性却被他们的进攻所弥补，因为他们在最近的10场比赛中有16次成功破门。

客队哥德堡在对阵东道主的比赛中有着良好的记录，他们会因此受到鼓舞。不管防守方面的担忧如何，他们都有足够的火力来反败为胜，要么避免失利，要么确保胜利。我们的预测是客队哥德堡要么赢得这场比赛，要么通过确保平局拿到一分。
