Prediction Värnamo vs Degerfors 2025 season – Betting Tips for the Allsvenskan on 18/08/2025

Match outlook: home pride meets away pressure in Värnamo

The Finnvedsvallen will host a meeting with real relegation-battle vibes on 18 August as Värnamo welcome Degerfors in round 20 of the Allsvenskan. On paper this looks like two teams scrambling for momentum: Värnamo sit 16th with just nine points from 19 games, while Degerfors, listed 15th, have accumulated 15 points. The numbers paint a portrait of defensive frailty and inconsistent attacking output for both sides, but there are contrasting recent narratives that will shape how this one plays out.

Värnamo arrive after a 2-2 draw with Elfsborg and two other high-scoring draws this month, suggesting they are capable of producing goals at home even if results are scarce. Their overall record — one win, six draws and 12 losses — includes 11 goals scored on home soil but 16 conceded, so Finnvedsvallen has been a venue of both chances and vulnerability. Meanwhile, Degerfors come off a stubborn 0-0 stalemate with Häcken, extending a winless run that reads harshly: no victories in their last ten matches, with just two draws and eight defeats. That recent sequence raises questions about confidence, yet Degerfors still show an ability to keep clean sheets from time to time, with four clean sheets to their name this campaign and a handful of goalless results in their recent past.

Key trends and how they point to the likely script

There’s reason to expect a competitive, edge-of-the-seat encounter. Both teams concede regularly — Värnamo with 35 goals against and Degerfors shipping 39 — and the shot volumes are strikingly similar, with the two sides averaging around 12.8 total shots per match. Värnamo’s home matches have seen goals, and Degerfors’ away numbers show they can find the net on the road (13 away goals), even if the defense has been unsteady. Head-to-head earlier this season saw Degerfors eke out a 1-0 victory, but form since then has shifted and Värnamo’s recent scoring draws hint at a team not afraid to open up at home.

Given the combination of Värnamo’s tendency to both score and concede at Finnvedsvallen, and Degerfors’ mix of shutouts and low-scoring defeats, the most likely script is an open game with goals at both ends rather than a goalless stalemate or a one-sided rout. Expect intensity, physical battles and moments of transition that can create chances for both teams.

Betting suggestion: Both Teams to Score — Yes.
