Djurgården vs Kalmar Prediction: The hosts will win

Two sides of a contrasting interest will settle scores on Sunday as Djurgården tackle Kalmar at Tele2 Arena. While the hosts fight for the title, the visitors fight to avoid relegation. Below are previews, possible starting 11, expert betting tips, and odds.

DWLWD

Djurgården played a 2-2 draw in their last game against LASK in the first round of the Conference League. They now move their focus back to the league, where they were held to a 1-1 draw in their last game against Varnamo. They remain unbeaten in all competitions in the last three games. They sit second on the table with 46 points in 25 games, scoring 39 goals and conceding 29. Any point drop in this game will technically kill their title hopes with five games left in the league. Meanwhile, Patric Aslund (unknown), M. Nilsson Säfqvist (knee injury), and Albin Ekdal (thigh injury) will miss this game.

Kalmar suffered a 3-1 loss to Elfsborg in their last game. The 2008 champions remain winless in their last three games and have only won one of their last six away games. They sit second to the bottom of the table with 22 points in 25 games, scoring 33 goals and conceding 52.

Djurgarden — Jacob Rinne, Adam Stahl, Marcus Danielson, Miro Tenho, Keita Kosugi, Besard Sabovic, Rasmus Schuller, Santeri Haarala, August Priske, Tobias Gulliksen, Deniz Hummet.

Kalmar — Samuel Brolin, Melker Hallberg, Vince Osuji, Lars Saetra, Rony Jansson, Robert Gojani, Romario Pereira Sipiao, Jonathan Ring, Johan Karlsson, Simon Skrabb, Dino Islamovic.

Not even a draw will benefit either side because the hosts are fighting for the title, and the visitors are struggling to escape the relegation zone. With the contrasting interests of both sides, we can expect a highly productive game where both sides will find the back of the net. Moreover, the last four games between them saw the BTTS and Over 2.5 goals result. However, the hosts will get a win.
