Prediction published on 28/07/2024, 01:59  by Nella Wagah in Football Predictions

Elfsborg are eyeing a first home win in four meetings with Djurgården in the two sides’ Allsvenskan match on Sunday. Placed fourth, Elfsborg are six points behind Djurgården, who occupy second spot. Here’s our preview and a prediction for the game.

Elfsborg last beat Djurgården at home in 2020, a run they’ll be keen on changing. They’ll also want to avenge their 2-0 defeat in their last meeting in May. Coming into this game on a run of six straight wins will give the hosts just the right psychological edge.

This will be the first of three straight matches at home and there is a lot of positivity in Elfsborg’s camp. Di Gule have one foot in the Europa League 3rd qualifying round following a 1-0 away win at Sheriff in their last outing. They’ve also won seven back-to-back matches at home.

Djurgården have a game in hand on both the leaders Malmo and their hosts here. This is their opportunity to close the gap on Malmo to four points but it won’t be a straightforward encounter. Like Elfsborg, they are coming from a win in Europe, having beaten Progrès Niederkorn 3-0 at home.

That win was key, as they recovered from an earlier loss to Kalmar in the Allsvenskan. In light of their hosts’ recent form, two losses in four league matches could place Djurgården as underdogs here. However, with just one loss in five matches against Elfsborg, Järnkaminerna will feel they can bag maximum points from this game.

Their away form in the league has been shaky but with four wins in the last five, Djurgården holds a threat.
