Prediction: 2-1
Djurgarden
All eyes will be on Swedbank Stadion when Malmo and Djurgarden face each other in the Allsvenskan derby. Malmo shared the spoils with AIK at the weekend, with Isaac Thelin securing one point in the stoppage time. The Blues aim to return to winning ways in the Swedish top flight, but the game against Djurgarden will be anything but a walk in the park for the hosts.
The capital club rolled over Kalmar 5-0 at the weekend, with the team quickly making amends for a 3-0 loss to Norrkoping. Seeing that Djurgarden are likely to stick to their attacking style of play against Malmo, we believe that there is a big value in betting on over 2.5 goals. Speaking of the winner, the hosts are closer to picking up all three points from the match as Djurgarden failed to impress in their last away game. Djurgarden midfielder Jonathan Ring is sidelined with injury.
