Headline Pick

Sirius to win

Strong · Clear xG gap

Both Teams to Score

BTTS — No

50.5% model probability

Total Goals

Over 2.5 Goals

59.8% model probability

Both clubs come into the Allsvenskan meeting on contrasting recent runs: Sirius have slipped to a DLLLW streak, whereas Degerfors have rebounded to WWLLW, setting up a test of Sirius' home firepower against an inconsistent visitor.

Lars's Verdict

Strong

Sirius to win Strong lean Strong · Clear xG gap

The model assigns a 71.1% win probability to Sirius, driven by their superior expected‑goals metric and recent home form.

Show the maths

Sirius' expected goals of 2.3 versus Degerfors' 0.8 create a 1.5‑goal differential, which the model translates into a 71.1% chance of a Sirius victory. The draw probability of 17.5% and Degerfors win probability of 11.4% are far lower, confirming the home side's dominance. This gap also fuels the 59.8% over‑2.5‑goals probability, indicating multiple scoring opportunities for Sirius.

Pick 2 · Both Teams to Score

Both Teams to Score — No (one side kept off the scoresheet) 50.5% model probability

With Sirius averaging 2.3 expected goals and Degerfors IF averaging 0.8, the model gives a 50.5% chance at least one side fails to score, ahead of the 49.5% it gives to both teams scoring.

Show the maths

BTTS probability is derived from each side's expected goals (Sirius 2.3, Degerfors IF 0.8) run through the same Poisson goal-expectancy model used for the match result: 49.5% of simulated outcomes have both teams scoring at least once, versus 50.5% where at least one side is shut out.

Pick 3 · Total Goals

Over 2.5 Goals 59.8% model probability

Combined expected goals of 3.1 (Sirius 2.3 + Degerfors IF 0.8) points to an open game, with the model giving Over 2.5 Goals a 59.8% chance against 40.2% for Under.

Show the maths

Total goals probability comes from the same Poisson model summing both teams' expected goals (Sirius 2.3 + Degerfors IF 0.8 = 3.1 combined): 59.8% of simulated outcomes finish with 3 or more goals, versus 40.2% finishing with 2 or fewer.

Match Result Model

Our Poisson model, built from each side's real season scoring and conceding rates, has Sirius at 71.1%, the draw at 17.5%, and Degerfors IF at 11.4% to win.

Most Likely Scoreline

The single most likely scoreline in our model is 2-0 at 11.9% — treat any single scoreline price with caution given how spread out the probability distribution is across a low-scoring match.

Form Guide — Last 5

Sirius

DLLLW

Sirius' recent five‑game run of DLLLW includes a 2‑2 draw at home against IF Brommapojkarna and a 0‑1 loss at home to Malmö FF, showing they can both score and concede. The 1‑0 away win at Västerås SK FK demonstrates they can finish matches strongly, reinforcing the expectation of a win at home.

Degerfors IF

WWLLW

Degerfors' last five fixtures feature a 2‑1 away win at Malmö FF and a 3‑0 home victory over IFK Göteborg, but also two consecutive 0‑2 away defeats to IF Brommapojkarna and IF Elfsborg, highlighting defensive frailties that make a Sirius win probable.

Head-to-Head

In the most recent head‑to‑head, Sirius beat Degerfors 3‑0 on 4 April 2026, and earlier this season they edged them 2‑1, reinforcing the home side's edge over this opponent.
