A beleaguered Degerfors side host Norrkoping at the Stora Valla on Saturday for a clash in the 2025 Allsvenskan, looking to end their sordid losing run. Interestingly, the Bruket have lost all seven games since beating Norrkoping 2-1 on 15 May, a run which sees them languish third from bottom in 14th place in the Swedish top flight with only 13 points in the bag.
As things stand, the side will be heading into relegation playoffs at the end of the campaign, although it could get worse if such a terrible run continues, as Degerfors run the risk of a direct relegation too.
As for Norrkoping, they recently ended a five-game winless run to beat Varnamo and return to winning ways. Christoffer Nyman fired them in front after only three minutes, but Hugo Andersson equalized for the visitors shortly after the start of the second half.
But their joy was short-lived as Arnor Ingvi Traustason restored parity for the Comrades in the 52nd minute while Nyman added a third three minutes later. It got them up to 11th place in the league table with 18 points, five clear of the relegation zone.
