IFK Göteborg host a struggling Degerfors side in a clash that could swing the title race. Göteborg sit on a mixed run of form while Degerfors have failed to find the net in four of their last five league outings.

Lars's Verdict

IFK Goteborg vs Degerfors IF
0 - 0
Value pick
Degerfors IF to win Value pick · High upside

Back Degerfors IF at 4.9 as the model shows a 34.6% chance of victory versus the market’s 20.4% implied probability.

Show the maths
Our model assigns Degerfors IF a 34.6% probability of winning, derived from their equal 1.0 expected goals and the home side’s recent defensive frailties. The best market price of 4.9 translates to an implied probability of 20.4% (1/4.9). The gap of 14.2 percentage points between model and market signals a clear edge. Because the expected goals are balanced, the model’s higher win probability reflects the underestimation of Degerfors’ chance to exploit Göteborg’s leaky defence.
Pick 2 · Both Teams to Score
Both Teams to Score — No (one side kept off the scoresheet) 60.0% model probability

With IFK Goteborg averaging 1.0 expected goals and Degerfors IF averaging 1.0, the model gives a 60.0% chance at least one side fails to score, ahead of the 40.0% it gives to both teams scoring.

Show the maths
BTTS probability is derived from each side's expected goals (IFK Goteborg 1.0, Degerfors IF 1.0) run through the same Poisson goal-expectancy model used for the match result: 40.0% of simulated outcomes have both teams scoring at least once, versus 60.0% where at least one side is shut out.
Pick 3 · Total Goals
Under 2.5 Goals 67.7% model probability

Combined expected goals of 2.0 (IFK Goteborg 1.0 + Degerfors IF 1.0) points to a tighter game, with the model giving Under 2.5 Goals a 67.7% chance against 32.3% for Over.

Show the maths
Total goals probability comes from the same Poisson model summing both teams' expected goals (IFK Goteborg 1.0 + Degerfors IF 1.0 = 2.0 combined): 32.3% of simulated outcomes finish with 3 or more goals, versus 67.7% finishing with 2 or fewer.
Match Result Model

Our Poisson model, built from each side's real season scoring and conceding rates, has IFK Goteborg at 34.6%, the draw at 30.9%, and Degerfors IF at 34.6% to win.

Most Likely Scoreline

The single most likely scoreline in our model is 0-0 at 13.5% — treat any single scoreline price with caution given how spread out the probability distribution is across a low-scoring match.

Form Guide — Last 5

IFK Goteborg

WLLWL

Göteborg’s last five league games read W‑L‑L‑W‑L, highlighted by a 0‑4 loss at Malmö and a 1‑4 defeat at Sirius, indicating defensive vulnerability. Their recent 2‑1 home win over Brommapojkarna shows they can still score, but the inconsistency underlines why a surprise result is plausible.

Degerfors IF

DLLLL

Degerfors have managed only a single point from a draw (2‑2 vs Brommapojkarna) and endured four straight defeats, including a 0‑4 loss at Hammarby. Their inability to score—only two goals in five matches—means any win will likely be low‑scoring, aligning with the model’s equal expected‑goals projection.

Head-to-Head

Historically Göteborg dominate, winning five straight meetings (most recent 3‑1 on 8 Mar 2026), but recent form suggests the gap has narrowed, supporting the model’s elevated upset probability.
