Djurgardens IF vs Mjallby AIF — Tips & Analysis

Djurgardens IF -1: Mjallby turn up here in poor shape. They have not won away from home in any of their last seven trips, taking four ties and three losses. On the road they let in almost 2 goals a game. This is also their second game in four days, after a 0-3 loss at Red Bull Salzburg closed out a draining European run. Djurgarden have had a full week off since winning 3-0 at Malmo. The hosts score just over 2 goals a game and let in just over one, and they have won 9 of their last 17. Mjallby have won only 3 of their last 16 and score just over a goal a game, so little is coming back the other way. They are also without T. Miettinen and T. Stavitski. The shape of this one looks clear. Djurgarden get in front and then control it, with 2-0 the score that fits best. The honest worry is that Djurgarden have been oddly ordinary on this ground, winning 4, tying 1 and losing 4 at home. They have also won by 2 or more goals in only 6 of their last 17. This head to head is dead level at 6 wins each across 15 meetings. We still think the fresher, stronger side has enough to win this one well.
