Recent form (most recent last): Degerfors IF L-L-L-L-W; IFK Goteborg L-W-L-W-W.

What the model expects

Under the hood the model expects 0.94 goals for Degerfors IF and 1.57 for IFK Goteborg. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.

Degerfors IF rate 0.37 in attack and 1.42 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; IFK Goteborg rate 0.79 and 1.34.

That points to 46% for over two and a half goals and 49% for both teams to score.

The three most likely scorelines are 1-1 (13%), 0-1 (12%), 0-2 (10%).
