We head back over to Sweden for our next preview on Monday night with Djurgarden taking on lowly AFC Eskilstuna as the betting tips continue in the Allsvenskan at the Tele2 Arena in Stockholm.
Djurgarden Prediction – Can Djurgarden move top?
2nd placed Djurgarden sit level on 41 points with current Allsvenskan league leaders, Malmo, and despite Malmo recording a heavy 5-0 win over Falkenberg last night, Djurgarden would move 3 points clear at the top of the division if they beat lowly AFC Eskilstuna at home on Monday night.
It’s been a pretty successful campaign for Djurgarden in the Swedish top flight so far as the hosts have suffered just 2 defeats throughout the whole season to date – 1 at home and 1 away, and with an 11-match unbeaten run under their belts prior to tonight’s clash, Djurgarden look well placed to take the points here.
9 wins from these last 11 matches underlines Djurgarden’s impressive sequence of form and they also held Malmo to a 1-1 draw on home turf at their Tele2 Arena in mid-July too, so they’ll have plenty of confidence in despatching the likes of AFC Eskilstuna on Monday night.
An overall home record of 6-3-1 19/8 includes Djurgarden winning 5 of their last 6 matches at home, scoring a total of 14 goals and conceding just 2 goals during this period.
AFC Eskilstuna Prediction – Can Eskilstuna lift themselves out of bottom two?
As anticipated, AFC Eskilstuna are fighting a relegation battle as the visitors sit second from bottom in the Allsvenskan and find themselves 4 points adrift of fourth from bottom club, Sirius, and safety as they prepare for a tough trip to face high-flying Djurgarden on Monday night.
The visitors have collected just 3 league wins throughout this season’s Allsvenskan campaign to date, with 2 of these being achieved on home turf at their Tunavallen ground with wins against Goteborg and Kalmar – this obviously leaves just 1 away win all season.
That rare commodity (being an away win for AFC Eskilstuna!) was achieved recently with a 2-1 win at mid-table Ostersunds, who themselves have managed just 3 home wins all season, while AFC Eskilstuna’s overall results away form home have been poor.
AFC Eskilstuna possess a poor away record of 1-1-7 6/19 and this not only includes failing to score in 5 of their 9 away matches to date but they’ve also conceded 2 goals or more in 5 of these last 9 away matches too.
Of their 24 away matches played in their Allsvenskan history, AFC Eskilstuna have picked up just 2 wins during this woeful period.
Key-Facts – Djurgarden v AFC Eskilstuna
- Djurgarden are unbeaten in their last 11 matches overall in the Allsvenskan
- Djurgarden have won 5 of their last 6 home matches in the Allsvenskan
