Djurgarden vs Malmo FF Predictions

• Djurgarden have scored 1.88 goals per home game this term
• The visitors have hit 35 goals across their 14 league games this season
• There have been 13 goals scored across the last three meetings between these two

Can Djurgarden close the gap?

Two of the top four in Sweden’s top-flight clash on Monday evening, with Djurgarden aiming to close the gap to second-placed Malmo. The hosts have won their last two league games, but can they continue that form against title hopefuls Malmo?

The visitors went into the weekend just a point shy of first place, but they were beaten 2-1 by Mjalby in their last game and that home defeat could wind up being costly come the end of the season. They’re hoping to bounce back with another away win, but the hosts have strung together a fine home record.

Goals the best way to go

With Djurgarden winning seven of eight home games and Malmo winning five of their six trips, it’s hard to write off either side going into this one. The thing which should stand up in this meeting is the scoring form of the two sides, especially off the back of their 2-2 draw in the cup earlier this year.

The pair have seen 13 goals scored across their last three meetings, while they rank among the top-scoring sides in the top flight. Djurgarden have hit 1.88 goals per home game this term, while Malmo have scored 35 times across their 14 games this term. With both in great shape going forward, back over 2.5 goals in this one.
