Goteborg are in excellent form heading into a round No. 12 fixture against Swedish rival Degerfors. The Angels are eighth in the Allsvenskan table and just seven points off of first-place BK Hacken.
A win for Goteborg could see them rise as high as sixth place depending on the results elsewhere in the Allsvenskan this weekend. Degerfors, on the other hand, are down the standings in 14th place.

While Goteborg are thinking about a league title and European qualification, Degerfors are concerned with potential relegation. Degerfors have picked up a mere seven points from 11 matches this season in the league.
Each of Degerfors’s last three games ended without a win. Degerfors are desperate for points to move away from the bottom of the Allsvenskan table.
Goteborg were excellent in the last six matches against Degersfors. The Angels posted a record of 3W-2D-1L in the last six games in all competitions versus Degerfors. Last season, these teams played three times with Degerfors getting a result in two of those matches.
The Angels did win the last time these teams met in the Allsvenskan 1-0. Goteborg outscored Degerfors 14-6 across the last six meetings.
Although Goteborg are on a two-match winning streak, they are not in the best of form overall. The Angels took just seven points from the last six games. They were outscored 8-7.
Goteborg have not been very strong at home in 2022. In five games, the Angels have picked up just eight points with a record of 2W-2D-1L.
Degerfors picked up seven points from the last six games in the division. The same total that Goteborg took. However, unlike Goteborg, Degerfors failed to win their last three games in the Allsvenskan.
In addition, the Reds conceded 14 goals and scored just seven times. Degerfors have one of the league’s worst road records with 1W-0D-4L. They are –6 in goals away from home this season.
Goteborg are led in goals by striker Marcus Berg. The forward has five goals for 38% of Goteborg’s scoring. Degerfors are led in goals by Abdelrahman Saidi with five. He has scored 56% of Degerfors’s goals in 2022.
Degerfors are struggling for points at the moment in the Swedish top flight. The Reds should continue to come up short in the battle for points as Goteborg pick up an important win at home.
Goteborg should post a 2-1 win with Berg potentially getting on the scoresheet.
