Degerfors IF vs Kalmar FF Prediction

The most striking fact heading into this Allsvenskan clash is that Kalmar FF have failed to score in their last five matches. The visitors drew 0–0 at IFK Norrkoping on 6 October, lost 0–1 to Malmo FF on 12 October, and before that were beaten 0–5 by BK Hacken at home, 0–1 by IF Elfsborg away, and 0–1 by Djurgardens IF at home. Five games, zero goals. Their away record over 20 games tells a similar story: 11 of those 20 ended with Kalmar FF scoring nothing, and in their latest 10 matches across all venues they have failed to score in 8.

Degerfors IF, meanwhile, are not flying at home but they are not collapsing either. Their last two matches were 1–1 draws — at Mjallby AIF on 10 October and at IK brage on 3 October — and before that they lost 0–1 to Hammarby FF at home on 20 September and 0–2 to Sirius away on 14 September. Their 2–0 win over Halmstad at home on 5 September was the last time they took all three points. Over 20 home games, Degerfors IF have recorded 6 wins, 5 draws and 9 losses, averaging 1.15 points per game and scoring 1.15 per match while conceding 1.2.

The head-to-head is dated. The only meeting within the last 12 months was at Kalmar FF's ground in May 2026, which Kalmar FF won 2–1. The older meetings at Degerfors IF's ground (two in 2022 and 2023) split 1–1, with Degerfors IF winning 2–1 and Kalmar FF winning 1–3. So there is no recent pattern at this venue to lean on.

The counter-argument is that Kalmar FF's xG figures in two recent matches (1.73 per game) suggest they are creating chances and a breakthrough could come. Degerfors IF's last two results were draws, not wins, and the home side's 9 losses in 20 home games show they are far from reliable. The market prices Kalmar FF as the favourite at 2.43 (41.15% implied), which reflects the visitors' recent head-to-head edge and the fact that Degerfors IF have not won in their last two.

However, the weight of evidence points firmly to at least one team keeping a clean sheet. Kalmar FF's five-game scoring drought, their 8-of-10 failure to score in the latest stretch, and their 11-of-20 away blank record make it very hard to see them finding the net. Degerfors IF have scored in 13 of their 20 home games, so the most likely scenario is a Degerfors IF goal with Kalmar FF on zero.

Key Points:

• Kalmar FF have scored zero goals in their last five matches and failed to score in 8 of their last 10.

• Degerfors IF's last two games were 1–1 draws; they won 2–0 at home against Halmstad on 5 September.

• The only recent head-to-head meeting (May 2026) was a 2–1 Kalmar FF win at their own ground.

• Kalmar FF's away record over 20 games: 5W 3D 12L, with 11 of 20 ending in a blank.

• Degerfors IF home record over 20 games: 6W 5D 9L, scoring 1.15 per game.

My pick: both teams not to score.
