**Halmstads BK and Örgryte IS occupy the automatic relegation spots with just 14 and 15 points from 22 matches, while Degerfors IF sits one point above the playoff line at 19.** Both bottom sides carry -24 goal differences and have managed only three wins each, reflecting persistent defensive frailties and limited attacking output against a competitive mid-table. Kalmar FF, another recently promoted side, remains on 19 points and faces similar survival pressure. With eight rounds remaining, the promoted trio’s lack of consistent results and the gap to safer positions (Mjällby on 22 points) shape the current trader consensus around these three clubs as the primary candidates for the drop to Superettan.
