Two teams with some of the poorest defensive performances in the season are set to face off; Degerfors hosts Malmo in the next round of the season. The host team is placed seventh with 14 points while Malmo are top of the standings with 23 points. It hasn’t been a straightforward season for Degerfors and after seemingly going on a stable run, they were drawn back with a 5-1 loss by Hammarby in their last match. They had a catastrophic second half in that game, conceding four second half goals, after going to the break at 1-1. They have managed just two clean sheets in their last five matches and in that run, three matches have produced over 2.5 goals. Both sides have scored in three of those five matches. Degerfors just returned to the top flight after a 24-year absence and after losing their first home match, they responded with three straight home wins.

In this decade, these two sides have met just twice, both times in the Swedish Cup. Malmo have won both, scoring 10 goals in the two matches. They will be favorites going into this game and hope to extend their dominance over Degerfors. Malmo are coming from a Champions League game, having advanced after drawing 1-1 with Riga. They have one loss in their last nine competitive matches, seven being in the Allsvenskan. Their last match in the league ended in a 4-0 win and it means now each of their last five league matches has produced over 2.5 goals. They have scored in each of the five league matches and Antonio Colak has registered five goals in the last four matches across all competitions.
