Djurgarden & Both Teams to Score
Djurgarden have 4pts more on the board than Varberg this season as well as a far great goal difference and we're expecting that to show on Sunday. The hosts have won three of their last four league meetings with Varberg with both teams scoring in three of those head-to-heads and have picked up 7pts from their last three home games in the Allsvenskan, while Varberg have lost two of their last three matches on the road but both teams have scored in three of their last four fixtures.
Over 2.5 Goals
At least three goals have been scored in three of the last four encounters between these two clubs and we're expecting more of the same this weekend. Three or more goals have been scored in three of Djurgarden's last five matches as well as in two of Varberg's last four league games, so you can see why we're backing goals on Sunday.
Everything you need to know about Djurgarden vs Varberg
Djurgarden looking to put pressure on the top three with a win
Djurgarden made the trip to Kalmar last weekend and looked to have done enough to earn a share of the spoils, only for a late goal to spoil things. The game itself was tight and tense throughout and had goalless draw written all over it, until, deep into stoppage-time Saetra was played in by Berg to score the game's only goal for Kalmar, silencing the travelling Djurgarden support.
Djurgarden Predicted Lineup: Zetterström, Bengtsson, Johansson, Ekdal, Hien, Radetinac, Eriksson, Hakšabanović, Finndell, Edvardsen & Asoro
Varberg took the lead at home to Degerfors in the 33rd-minute via Mensah and lead 1-0 at the interval. The visitors did, however, get back onto level terms just before the hour mark through Campos and looked like they might pinch a point. However, with 93-minutes on the clock, Varberg created one last chance which the aptly named Winbo scored to win the game for the hosts.
Varberg Predicted Lineup: Andersson, Lindner, Zackrisson, Stanisic, Mensah, Le Roux, Winbo, Karlsson, Boman, Kunst & Johansson
