Preview & Prediction: Djurgården IF vs Malmö FF
Djurgården and Malmö FF are evenly matched, having both picked up points in their last 5 games. Both teams have been in excellent scoring form, with BTTS landing in a high percentage of their matches this season. In their last 5 encounters, the majority have ended with both teams scoring, and it’s likely we will see some goals in this match. However, Djurgården’s home form has been exceptional, and they remain unbeaten at home, making them the favorites to come out on top in this game.

The home team’s season got off to a slow start, but they have since found their stride and are contending for Conference League positions. The previous time they played Varnamo, they came from behind to win 2-1 thanks to goals from Rasmus Schuller and Oliver Berg in the second half to turn around a disadvantage. Malmo will consider themselves early championship challengers after a generally strong campaign. The Swedish international Sebastian Nanasi scored a late consolation goal, but they were still defeated 2-1 by Mjallby in their most recent match.

Elliot Kack, who has been declared out for the duration of the current season, is the only major absence for Djurgardens IF; otherwise, Bergstrand has a complete roster to pick from. Last time out, 17-year-old central midfielder Lucas Bergvall was substituted at halftime by Oscar Fallenius, who contributed to the game’s turnaround in the second half, allowing the 21-year-old to receive the nod in the engine room alongside Besard Sabovic and Rasmus Schuller.

Anders Christiansen, who has missed the past six games due to injury, is still not available for selection for Malmo, while Rydstrom will also be without Derek Cornelius, Stefano Holmquist, and Anton Tinnerholm. After a dismal loss in the last game, the Sky Blue may make a few changes, with Taha Ali replacing Soren Rieks in the left-wing back position and Sebastian Jorgensen taking Moustafa Zeidan’s place on the left flank.
🗣️ "Både Lasse Nielsen och Derek Cornelius har reagerat bra på de senaste träningarna och är med i morgondagens matchtrupp."
