Djurgardens IF vs Gais — Tips & Analysis

Djurgardens IF -0.75: Djurgarden are flying. They have won their last five games, including a 3-0 at Malmo and a 4-0 against Mjallby, and that run is the main reason we want them here. They score more than 2 goals a game and let in under one. They have also won by 2 or more goals in 9 of their last 19 games, so this is a team that turns control into a proper win. Gais are solid enough, with 9 wins in their last 18. The problem is travel. At home they barely let anything in, but on the road they let in more than a goal a game and have lost four of their eight trips. They are also without seven players, including Holmen with a knee problem and Lundgren with an Achilles injury. Our read is Djurgarden win it 2-1. Gais usually hold out for a long spell. The second half is where the hosts should get the goals that matter. There are two honest worries. 3Arena has been Djurgarden's weaker ground. They have won 4 of 9 games there against 7 of 10 on their travels. Gais have also kept this game tight for two seasons. Gais also arrive on nine days of rest to Djurgarden's four, so legs could matter late. We still back the in-form side to come out on top.
