What happened in the cup match against Falu BS?
IF Brommapojkarna were knocked out of the Swedish Cup after a 2-1 loss to Division 2 side Falu BS. Expressen reported that the top-flight team struggled to find their rhythm in the match.
Tomas Borquez gave the home team the lead in the 34th minute. Anton Kurochkin equalised for BP, but Falu BS scored the winner in the 79th minute. Manager Ulf Kristiansson was open about his disappointment afterwards. "Of course you are disappointed. That's all there is to it. It was a poor performance from us," he told Expressen.
He pointed to a lack of decisiveness in attack as a main cause. "We create some chances early on that we should have scored from. Then there aren't many more goal chances." Kristiansson added. The loss means BP miss the group stage of the cup.
What form are Brommapojkarna in ahead of the Degerfors match?
BP are coming from a 3-1 home win against Örgryte, which ended an eight-match winless run in the league. Mads Hansen, back from suspension, opened the scoring. An own goal and a late strike by substitute Lukas Björklund secured the three points.
The win was important for a team that has often been close during their slump. The club has now scored 27 goals and conceded the same amount this season, resulting in a zero goal difference. They are 18 points behind league leaders Sirius. You can follow the team's progress on our stats page.
How does Degerfors look ahead of the match?
Degerfors arrive with three consecutive Allsvenskan wins, including a 3-0 away victory against IFK Göteborg. Dijan Vukojevic has been sharp with four goals across the last two league games.
The team also won their midweek cup match 5-1 against IFK Östersund. This means the visitors have three competitive wins in a row, but also an extra away match in their legs. Degerfors are in a relegation playoff spot with 16 points, eight behind BP before the round.
What does this mean for Brommapojkarna's immediate future?
A win against Degerfors would increase the gap to the relegation battle to eight points. A loss, however, would tighten the table. BP's next match is a home fixture against Djurgårdens IF on October 18th, an opponent currently sitting fourth.
With a balanced goal difference of 27-27, the team needs to find greater stability. They have won six, lost six and drawn six of their 18 matches.
