Malmö vs Djurgårdens Prediction: Who will win the trophy?

Malmö and Djurgårdens will slug it out at the Eleda Stadion in the final of the Svenska Cupen. Malmo have won their last eight games, including a 1-0 win over Djurgårdens. Can they win when it matters now? Below are previews, possible starting 11, expert betting tips, and odds.

Malmö

Malmö hope to get a result for their outstanding season so far by clinching their first trophy. Their performance this season has been exceptional, sitting lonely at the top of the league table with 18 maximum points after round 6. They have scored 18 goals in the league this season and have conceded only 1. That’s amazing, isn't it? Their defence deserves their flowers, as they have kept five clean sheets in their last five games.

Coming to this final, they defeated Halmstad 4-0 in the semifinal, where they controlled the game with 62% possession of the ball. However, Daniel Gudjohnsen is out due to a back injury. Oscar Lewicki is recovering from a cruciate ligament tear. Stefano Vecchia and Niklas Moisander are all sidelined.

Djurgårdens

Although Djurgårdens managed to get to this stage in this cup fixture after defeating AIK on penalties, their performance this season hasn’t been exceptional. They have picked 10 points in the league and have won just 1 of their last three games. They recently lost 1-0 to Molde in the league, failing to record just one shot on goal. Due to injuries, they will be without Tobias Gulliksen, Theo Bergvall, and Rasmus Schuller.

Possible Starting 11

Malmo – Johan Dahlin, Jens Stryger Larsen, Elison Makolli, Derek Cornelius, Busanello, Sebastian Nanasi, Sergio Pena, Lasser Berg Johnsen, Ali Taha, Erik Boethim, Isaac Kiese Thelin.

Djurgarden – Widell Zetterstrom, Piotr Johansson, Miro Tenho, Jacob Une Larsson, Samuel Dahl, Samuel Leach, Magnus Eriksson, Albin Ekdal, Oskar Fallenius, Deniz Hummet, Haris Radetinac.

Expert Betting Tips

Malmo are exceptional this season, as they have won their last eight matches, including a 1-0 win over Djurgarden last week in Allsvenskan. On the other hand, Djurgarden have lost two of their last three matches. So, Malmo are expected to get their first trophy here and keep a clean sheet as usual.
