Last season, Degerfors finished 13th and held on to their Allsvenskan status only on the final matchday. The man who kept the club up was Henok Goitom: the former Udinese, Almería and AIK forward took charge in July 2025, making this his first permanent head coaching role. In May, his contract was extended through to the end of 2028. At home, Degerfors have picked up eight points from nine matches. In August they beat Göteborg 3-0 there.

⭐ Editor's Prediction
At home, Degerfors have scored more than two goals in just 1 of their last 22 Allsvenskan matches. In the visitors' last seven Allsvenskan matches, the combined total has been fewer than three goals - exactly the scenario we're anticipating. Halmstad themselves have failed to score more than one goal in nine consecutive league matches. At Stora Valla, these two sides are equally tight: fewer than four goals in 7 of their last 8 head-to-head meetings. We're not expecting a high-scoring game this time either. The bet is Total Goals - Under 2.5. Predicted score: 1-1.
