Goteborg vs Djurgarden Match Preview

Goteborg is ranked at 11th place with 28 points and comes after two wins and three losses over the last five matches. They were having a bad time, but winning their most recent games helped them climb in ranks, so now they sit out of the relegation zone having a difference of two points with Halmstad.

They have scored 29 goals so far showing a decent offensive side while conceding 33 goals. In the last five games through the defense has been a problem as they have conceded a total of seven goals while failing to keep a clean sheet on four occasions. This, and the fact that they will miss Sigthorsson who is their third-best scorer this season is going to make things a bit harder, knowing that they face a team that is very solid defensively.

Djurgarden, on the other hand, is ranked at 2nd spot with 47 points and comes after three wins and two losses over the last five matches. Being one game short they must grab all the three points here in order to get back on the first spot with five rounds remaining. Losing the two direct encounters against AIK and Elfsborg surely complicated their situation but they still have their fate in their own hands.

With 40 goals scored so far, they have one of the best offensive sides in the league, while with 23 goals conceded they have the second-best defensive side. In the last five matches, they scored a total of nine goals, averaging almost two goals per game and I think this trend can continue here with a lot being at stake. There should be no important missings, so with Chilufya 6 goals - 2 assists, Witry 5 goals - 1 assist and Eriksson 4 goals - 12 assists they are going to aim for the max.

In conclusion, I think Djurgarden can win this match or get at least a draw out of it. They are the better team and despite their two recent losses seem to have recovered from that. The previous h2h match this season ended in a 0-0 draw, however, Djurgarden won three of the last five h2h games while the other two ended in a draw. The last time Goteborg won against them was back in 2016.
