Djurgårdens vs Malmö Prediction: Malmö hope to continue their perfect record

Malmö will hope to continue their 100% record when they travel to the Tele2 Arena on Thursday to face Djurgårdens. Djurgårdens suffered their first defeat of the season in their last game. Can they get back on track here? Below are previews, possible starting 11, expert betting tips, and odds.

Djurgårdens

Djurgårdens started the season on a perfect note as they remain unbeaten in their first 3 games, but they suffered a setback in their last game, where they lost 2-0 to AIK. They had started the season with a 4-1 win over Goteborg before recording a 3-3 draw against Hacken and securing a 2-0 victory over Sirius. Djurgårdens will be out searching for another win that will send them back to winning ways in the fight for their first title in 5 years. The last time Djurgårdens secured the title was back in 2019. Theo Bergvall is out of this game due to a foot injury, and Rasmus Schuller is also sidelined with an undisclosed injury.

Djurgårdens are currently 4th on the table with 7 points in 4 games, scoring 9 and conceding 6.

Malmö

Malmö have been on fire this season. They have won their last 6 games, which extend beyond this season. They remain the only side in the league with a 100% win record, and they are first in the league with 12 points in 4 games, scoring 12 and conceding just 1. Their defence has kept 3 clean sheets in their last 3 games.

Sebastian Nanasi and Kiese Thelin have been enjoying their season so far. Nanasi has scored 3 and assisted 3 this season, Thelin has scored 4 goals and assisted 2, making them the highest goal contributors in the league.

Nils Zätterström (hand injury), Stefano Vecchia (back injury), Niklas Moisander (arm injury), Daníel Gudjohnsen (back injury), and Anton Tinnerholm (groin injury) are all out of this clash.

Possible Starting 11

Djurgarden — Jacob Widell Zetterström, Piotr Johansson, Miro Tenho, Marcus Danielson, Samuel Dahl, Samuel Leach Holm, Albin Ekdal, Oskar Fallenius, Lucas Bergvall, Tobias Gulliksen, Deniz Hummet.

Malmo – Johan Dahlin, Jens Larsen, Derek Cornelius, Pontus Jansson, Adrian Skogmar, Taha Abdi Ali, Lasse Berg Johnsen, Sergio Peña, Sebastian Nanasi, Erik Botheim, Isaac Kiese Thelin.

Expert Betting Tips

Malmo remain the only side in the league with a 100% record this season. They have been composed both offensively and at the back. So my money is on them. Even though Malmo take pride in their defence, I still believe Djurgården's attack will find a way to break the defence and get a consolation goal. Djurgårdens have scored 14 goals in their last 5 games–that’s quite impressive for a team.
