✍️ Match Preview
Analysis & Preview
A Superettan encounter, Regular Season - 10 sees Varbergs BoIS FC travel to Stora Valla to take on Degerfors IF. The game is scheduled for Tuesday 28 May 2024, 18:00 UTC.
Recent Form
Across all Superettan games this season, Degerfors IF have gone 3W 7D 0L from 10 outings — a 1.60 PPG return. Last five: D W W D D. They are averaging 1.40 goals per game and conceding 0.80 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. Defensively, conceding just 0.80 per game is an exceptional defensive record — one of the tightest in the division. 4 clean sheets in 10 games (40%) reflects a solid defensive base. Both teams have scored in 60% of their games — a high BTTS rate that carries real weight in the goals markets. Degerfors IF haven't played a Superettan game yet this season, so this record is entirely from last season.
At home at Stora Valla, Degerfors IF have gone 4W 6D 0L this season (10 games, 1.80 PPG). At home they are averaging 1.40 goals scored and 0.60 conceded per game. 4 home clean sheets from 10 games (40%) — a solid defensive base on their own ground. BTTS has landed in 60% of their home matches — a rate that supports the Yes angle in this fixture.
Varbergs BoIS FC — All Games: 4W 1D 5L from 10 Superettan fixtures this season — 1.30 PPG. Last five: L L W W W. They are scoring at 1.50 per game and conceding 2.40. Conceding 2.40 per game is a high rate — their defensive vulnerabilities have been exposed regularly this season. Both teams have scored in 80% of their matches this season — one of the stronger BTTS rates in the division, making Yes a well-evidenced play. Varbergs BoIS FC haven't played a Superettan game yet this season, so this record is entirely from last season.
Varbergs BoIS FC's form when playing away from home: 4W 1D 5L across 10 road games this term (1.30 PPG). Away from home they average 1.40 goals scored and 2.00 conceded per game. Both teams have scored in 70% of their away matches — a high BTTS rate on the road that directly informs this fixture.
The form figures are too closely matched to derive a directional pick: Degerfors IF 1.60 PPG, Varbergs BoIS FC 1.30 PPG. Look to other data sets to build the analysis.
The BTTS market is worth targeting here. Degerfors IF register both teams scoring in 60% of relevant matches, Varbergs BoIS FC in 70% (using home/away splits) — both sides above the 60% threshold gives BTTS Yes firm statistical grounding.
H2H Record
There is little to separate the sides historically. From 6 previous meetings, Degerfors IF have won 0, Varbergs BoIS FC 1, with 5 draws — a balanced ledger that offers no obvious directional steer on its own.
The 6 previous meetings have averaged 1.8 goals per game — a neutral rate that provides no strong lean on the goals market from the H2H alone. The most recent clash, on 28 Oct 2023, ended 1–1 with a draw.
The head-to-head offers no strong directional steer in either the result or goals markets. Form, the predictive model and current market pricing should carry more weight than the historical record for this fixture.
In-Play Data
Degerfors IF trading profile (30 games, 15 at home): they score before half-time in 73% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 57% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 57% of those occasions; BTTS occurs in 53% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 47% of games (home games); they fail to score in 37% of games.
Varbergs BoIS FC trading profile (30 games, 15 at away): they score before half-time in 87% of fixtures in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 71% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 57% of those occasions; BTTS occurs in 67% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 67% of games (away games); Over 3.5 in 37%; they fail to score in 37% of games.
BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Degerfors IF 60% versus Varbergs BoIS FC 53%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Degerfors IF 50% | Varbergs BoIS FC 60%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Degerfors IF 2.25 xG and Varbergs BoIS FC 1.00 xG. These expected goals figures are the primary input: they feed a goal-probability matrix across all scoreline combinations to derive the result and market probabilities below. Underlying strength ratings: Degerfors IF attack 1.254 / defence 1.201 | Varbergs BoIS FC attack 0.830 / defence 1.343. League average goals — home 1.337 / away 1.002. Degerfors IF carry an above-average attack strength of 1.254 — their λ of 2.25 reflects genuine attacking quality above the league norm. Varbergs BoIS FC bring a strong defensive rating of 1.343 — this is suppressing Degerfors IF's projected output below what their attack strength alone would suggest. Data: 9 Degerfors IF games / 9 Varbergs BoIS FC games used (CurrentSeason).
Result probabilities: Degerfors IF 66% | Draw 19% | Varbergs BoIS FC 15%. Fair-value odds: Degerfors IF 1.52 | Draw 5.26 | Varbergs BoIS FC 6.67. The model has a clear lean to Degerfors IF (66%) — a 51pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 63% | BTTS probability 57% | Total xG 3.25. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 63% — the 3.25 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS probability of 57% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.
Our Verdict
Poisson rates Degerfors IF as the most likely outcome at 66% — clear model lean. Draw No Bet is worth pricing alongside the outright: 19% draw probability makes the stalemate a live outcome even at this conviction level.
Poisson projects 3.25 total expected goals, pointing to Over 2.5 at 63% probability — marginal — conflicting signals conviction, supported by form averaging 2.7 goals per game — though H2H averaging only 1.8 goals per meeting points in the other direction.
The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 57%. Form rates corroborate: Degerfors IF 60% | Varbergs BoIS FC 70% BTTS from recent games.

📝 Match Report
How It Unfolded
The points were shared at Stora Valla, Regular Season - 10, as Degerfors IF and Varbergs BoIS FC drew 1-1 in the Superettan. The remainder of the report sets that outcome against the pre-match model, the markets and the teams' data profiles.
The Model vs The Result
The Poisson model went into this projecting Degerfors IF 2.25 xG and Varbergs BoIS FC 1.00 xG, a combined 3.25. The scoreboard read 1-1 for 2 actual goals. Degerfors IF fell 1.3 short of their projected output. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Degerfors IF attack 1.25 / defence 1.20 against Varbergs BoIS FC attack 0.83 / defence 1.34, drawn from 9/9 games (CurrentSeason).
On the result, the model split it Degerfors IF 66% | Draw 19% | Varbergs BoIS FC 15%, with Degerfors IF to win its most likely call at 66%. Instead the game produced a draw, an outcome the model had rated at just 19% — a clear break from expectation and a genuine upset by the numbers.
Goals & Markets
The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 63%. The game delivered 2, so it stayed under — against the model's lean. Over 1.5 had been 84% and landed. Over 3.5 was 41% and did not. On both teams to score, the model sat at 57% and the match saw both sides score — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 55% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Degerfors IF 50%, Varbergs BoIS FC 60%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 57%, which matched the both-scored outcome.
Trading Patterns vs Reality
Degerfors IF's trading profile (30 games, 15 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 60% of their matches — today it did.
Varbergs BoIS FC's trading profile (30 games, 15 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 53% of their matches — today it did.
Form vs Result
The form lines were close — Degerfors IF 1.03 PPG, Varbergs BoIS FC 1.13 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the draw fit that even billing. Varbergs BoIS FC (home/away splits) conceded 1 against a 2.20 average — tighter than their form line.
Verdict
Grading the result against the stored data, 1 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (miss), BTTS (hit). This one broke away from the data — most of the pre-match signals were overturned by how the ninety minutes actually played out.
