Malmö FF welcome Degerfors in an Allsvenskan fixture on Sunday, August 9, 2026, with the teams arriving in sharply contrasting form. The hosts are fifth in the competition after a 2-1 victory against Brommapojkarna, while the visitors occupy 15th place following a 2-0 defeat to IFK Göteborg. Malmö have combined consistent scoring with three victories from their last five matches, whereas Degerfors have lost five consecutive league games without finding the net. The latest meeting also went Malmö’s way, ending 1-0 on July 4. Those results create a demanding assignment for a Degerfors side that has gone 11 straight league matches without a win, but Malmö’s own defensive numbers mean the contest cannot be treated as a formality.

Malmö FF Recent Form and Key Statistics

Malmö FF approach this home match after beating Brommapojkarna 2-1 on August 2. Their last five fixtures have produced three wins, one draw and one defeat, with averages of 2.0 goals scored and 1.0 conceded per game. That recent return gives the fifth-placed hosts a clear form advantage, particularly when compared with the five successive defeats suffered by their opponents.
Malmö’s broader Allsvenskan record stands at seven wins, two draws and six losses. They have averaged 2.0 goals per match across the season, underlining the attacking strength that has kept them in fifth position. Most importantly, Malmö have scored at least once in each of their last 21 Allsvenskan matches and in their last 15 fixtures across all competitions covered by the supplied statistics. That long scoring sequence will be central to this Malmö FF vs Degerfors preview, especially against visitors who have conceded at least one goal in 13 consecutive league matches.
The home trends point towards regular goalmouth action. Each of Malmö’s last 10 home league fixtures has featured more than 2.5 total goals, while their last 10 home matches in the Allsvenskan have also produced at least two goals. In addition, a first-half goal has occurred in each of their last 11 home fixtures and in their last 10 home league games. However, those attacking numbers come with a warning: Malmö’s season average of 1.7 goals conceded shows that their defence has not always matched the productivity of their attack. They have also been behind at half-time in six of their last 10 Allsvenskan matches, including six of their last 10 at home.

Degerfors Recent Form and Key Statistics

Degerfors travel to this match after a 2-0 loss against IFK Göteborg on August 2. That result extended a severe downturn: they have recorded no wins, no draws and five defeats across their latest five matches. During that sequence, they averaged 0.0 goals scored and 2.0 conceded. The visitors were also beaten 4-0 by Hammarby and 1-0 by Djurgården during their scoreless run, which now stretches to five consecutive Allsvenskan games.
The longer-term picture is similarly difficult. Degerfors are winless in 11 straight league fixtures and stand 15th in the Allsvenskan. Their season record is two victories, four draws and nine defeats, accompanied by averages of 0.8 goals scored and 1.7 conceded per match. The article data also credits them with only 12 league goals for the season, highlighting the attacking problem behind their current position and recent losing streak.
Away from home, Degerfors have been involved in matches containing more than 1.5 total goals on 18 consecutive occasions, including each of their last 16 Allsvenskan trips. At least one second-half goal has been recorded in their last 12 away matches and their last 11 away league fixtures. That second-half pattern is even broader, appearing in 20 of the team’s last 21 games and 20 of their last 22 in the Allsvenskan.
The visitors’ first-half record adds another concern. Degerfors have trailed at the interval in each of their last five away league matches and in their last four Allsvenskan fixtures overall. Nevertheless, 18 of their last 20 league games have contained fewer than 1.5 first-half goals. Taken together, those trends describe a side that has often fallen behind before the break but whose matches have generally opened without multiple first-half goals.

Malmö FF vs Degerfors Match Analysis

The available numbers place Malmö FF in the stronger position. They are 10 places above Degerfors, have won three of their last five matches and carry a long scoring streak into this fixture. Degerfors, by contrast, have lost five in succession, failed to score throughout that sequence and conceded at least once in each of their last 13 Allsvenskan games. The contrast between Malmö’s average of 2.0 goals per match and Degerfors’ season average of 0.8 is one of the clearest themes surrounding the contest.
Recent head-to-head results reinforce that difference. Malmö won the latest encounter 1-0 on July 4, and the five-match summary gives them four wins, one draw and no defeats against Degerfors. Across those meetings, Malmö averaged 2.6 goals scored and only 0.6 conceded. The visitors therefore need to reverse both their current form and an unfavorable direct record if they are to take a positive result from Sunday’s game.
Even so, the hosts have reasons to remain cautious. Malmö have conceded an average of 1.7 goals in the Allsvenskan this season and have frequently been behind at half-time in recent league matches. Degerfors’ five-game scoring drought makes it difficult to place much weight on that vulnerability, but Malmö will still need to avoid the slow starts reflected in their first-half statistics.
Overall, the match data suggests that Malmö’s sustained scoring output will be tested against a Degerfors team under considerable pressure. The hosts have scored in 21 consecutive league matches, while the visitors have conceded in 13 straight Allsvenskan fixtures and repeatedly trailed at half-time away from home. Degerfors must rediscover an attacking threat after five scoreless defeats, whereas Malmö will look to build on their 2-1 win over Brommapojkarna and continue their unbeaten five-match head-to-head record against Sunday’s opponents.
