Our prediction for this Sweden Allsvenskan match:
All eyes will be on Tele2 Arena when Djurgarden and Malmo face each other in the Allsvenskan derby. Djurgarden have big ambitions for the 2022 season, but they have yet to find their best form. January signing Victor Edvardsen should continue to lead the line for the hosts, while defender Elliot Kack is likely to miss the game with injury. The Blues, on the other hand, aim to melt AIK’s advantage in the Allsvenskan standings.
The reigning champions failed to impress in the Friends Arena defeat, but we predict that they will grab something from Monday’s clash. A close encounter is on the cards, and we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on draw. Finland international Niklas Moisander has been struggling with injury at the start of the season, speaking of the away side.
